SUMMARY:Youth Camp: Storytelling Through Textiles
DESCRIPTION:Youth 13-18 are invited to join us for a 3-day summer camp to explore materials\, personal stories\, cultural memories\, and identity.  \n\nInspired by Shirley Moorhouse and Zadie Xa’s ability to share stories through fabric\, youth will spend time experimenting with materials and developing the skills needed to create their own work of textile art. Through meaningful symbols\, patterns\, and textures\, youth will explore personal stories\, cultural memories\, and identity.\n\nRegistration is essential.\n\nCamp schedule (registrants must attend all 3 days): \n\nSunday 2 August\, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.\nMonday 3 August\, 10 a.m.– 4 p.m.\nTuesday 4 August\, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.\n\nRecommended for youth aged 13-18. \n\nParent or guardian consent essential for participants under 16.** \nParents or guardians are not required to be present for the duration of the program. Lunch will be provided\, and youth will receive an honorarium should they decide to submit their work for their Bridge Space exhibition.
