Worcester Center for Crafts

Each student will create their own Piata from start to finish! In this one-week course, we will start with the design process, exploring the best techniques and tools to make your ideas come to life.

In this two-week class, we will be working as a creative team to produce an artistic performance with a playful Vaudevillian theme. Together, we will create the props, backdrops, and characters for our performance.

Students will spend time learning basic sewing techniques, including threading a needle, tying knots, and mastering stitches like the running and blanket stitches. They will then work on projects such as making an owl pincushion and sewing a simple stuffed animal.

Join us for a week of fire and fantasy! In this course, students will learn basic metalsmithing skills, including how to use a jewelers saw, solder pieces of metal together using a torch, and clean and polish their pieces.

Tap into the unique properties of copper, brass, and aluminum in this brand-new program for young artists! We will use foil, mesh, and wire to create inspired sculptures, decorations, and simple jewelry.

Join us for a hands-on stained glass workshop where youll create your own unique designs inspired by geometric patterns! In this class, youll learn how to cut, arrange, and assemble colorful glass shapes to form bold, eye-catching artwork.

Create a mosaic-like stained glass window hanging using multiple pieces of colored glass chosen from bins of pre-cut smaller pieces of glass. Add glass nuggets or other small solderable shapes to create a one-of-a-kind abstract window hanging. Afternoon includes a scavenger hunt to find materials to make art.
