Q&A

  1. WHAT AGE? There is no specific age limit, however many classes do require fine motor skills and safety adherence. The classes are best suited for ages 8+
  2. HOW LONG? Each “adventure” (class) is scheduled for two hours to give time for creativity. If we finish early, we have games to play and ideas to sketch.
  3. WHAT TO BRING? Bring a water bottle & a (non-sticky/non-nut) snack if desired. All supplies are included unless otherwise noted for specific classes. You may bring your own 100% cotton apron or other item for patching if you do not plan on purchasing one. Consider bringing cash/venmo for the “S’more Store” which will have items such as aprons, hats, patches, and other art for optional purchase.
  4. WHAT IS THE CLASS SIZE? I prioritize small class sizes. Most classes will have 3-6 students.
  5. WHERE IS THE CLASS? Several local west-metro businesses such as coffee shops and book stores have kindly offered their spaces. Other locations are also possible – please reach out to verify options.
  6. HOW MUCH? Class costs vary based on size, adventure, location, etc. Please reach out for pricing.
  7. CAN WE DONATE SUPPLIES? Yes, please! Donations of the following supplies are greatly appreciated (used is fine!):
    • Block printing ink (fabric) 
    • Ink rollers
    • Linocut rubber
    • Fabric scissors
    • Double-sided iron-on adhesive 
    • Wool roving
    • Needle-felting needles & handles
    • Fabric markers or paint
    • Deep frames (plaque/wood-board craft frames) **
    • Clear Hot Glue & hot glue guns 
  8. HOW IS THE CLASS STRUCTURED?
    • Compass Questions: Each class will begin with 1-3 short get-to-know you “Compass Questions” relating to the theme (For example, in a “Water Wonderful World” class, we may ask: “What is something wonderful you noticed today?”).
    • Orientation: We will breifly cover any background, history, and safety information.
    • Adventure: The bulk of the class will be diving into the creative process. If we wrap up early, we will spend the final part of the class doing up-cycle themed games or sketching ideas for another adventure.
    • Backroads: (If doing a full “Camp Creative Compass” session) Prior to each class there will be optional “backroad” recommended experiences students can do on their own to enhance the class (for example, visiting a library before the book binding class).
  9. DO YOU OFFER ONLINE CLASSES? Not right now, but feel free to send an inquiry if interested. There is, however, a work-book NOW AVAILABLE.
