For Schools
Teachers and schools in the Wilmington area - take advantage of this great chance to bring new art skills into the classroom. Add to your kids' education with fun projects that teach a new skill in an exciting way.
Studies show that art education helps students do better in school, especially students from low-income backgrounds with less access to artistic resources and education outside of the classroom. Art education is important for kids because it:
- Makes them want to come to school more
- Helps them feel less stressed
- Lets them practice using their hands in a careful way
- Gives them practice receiving feedback
These skills will help kids no matter what they want to do when they grow up. The National Endowment for the Arts found that kids who do a lot of art are more likely to be active in their communities. Showing kids different types of art helps them find what they like best and be creative in their own way. The most important thing is teaching the basics and giving kids the tools to make what they imagine. Learning from a teacher with years of experience is the perfect way to start.
But art does more than help with school. It gives kids a way to express themselves creatively and find out what they like. Making things by hand helps kids think about everyday items they use - and how they're made! Sewing teaches kids to be patient and careful, and it's a skill they can use their whole lives. Learning to sew helps kids connect with art history in a hands-on way as they create things themselves.
What Kids Learn in Our Sewing Classes
Beginner projects like the ones we teach give kids a basic understanding of many different skills and teach them about sewing machines. They'll learn how to:
- Set up a sewing machine correctly
- Pin fabric
- Wind and put in a bobbin
- Sew forward and backward
After our class, your group will feel comfortable and confident using a sewing machine for simple projects. These skills are hard to learn if you don't have a sewing machine at home, but they can be useful for your whole life. More complex projects teach things like putting in a zipper, making pockets, and working with unusual materials like vinyl or seatbelt straps.
Fun for the Whole Family
Sewing is a great idea for family gatherings - to keep the kids or the whole family busy! We can do holiday-themed projects for a festive party or work with you to choose from our different project designs. With many fabric choices, everyone can make something that fits their style. We cut out the pattern pieces ahead of time and have a teacher leading the class, so your group just gets to enjoy making something new and feeling good about learning a new skill.
