Wearable Art - Camp Kala 2025

Create unique and fabulous works of art, including mixed-media wearable art that tells a story! We’ll look at animals, nature, and artists as inspiration for colorful works on fabric. Express yourself through hands-on projects that incorporate block printing and monotype on fabric, embroidery, sun printing, and painting on fabric. We’ll practice drawing from life, design patterns, and learn about textiles and simple art-making techniques using paint, ink, fabric markers, and more. Create unique long-lasting works of art in the spirit of expressing yourself in wearable art!
