Walk in style: learn how to make your own tote bag!
This summer, join the IDEA Lab and the Visions Museum of Textile Art for a creative textile arts series designed especially for teens!
Explore quilting, upcycling, sewing, and design while developing hands-on maker skills and expressing your creativity. Participants will learn the basics of quilting, transform materials through embellishment and upcycling, create an original tote bag, and contribute to a collaborative community quilt. Whether you're interested in fashion, art, sustainability, or simply trying something new, this series offers a fun and welcoming space to create, connect, and make something meaningful together. Attend a few classes or all of them!
