Workshops For Teens - Shiawassee Arts Center

We are now offering a variety of workshops for teens!(5-8th grade). These workshops are more advanced and detailed than our Thursday afterschool classes. Beginners are welcome as we will review entry level techniques and best practices, but we will also be diving deeper to learn intermediate and advanced methods.

Wednesday afterschool classes run from 4pm – 5:30pm. Classes are $15 for SAC members and $20 for guests.

Purchase an annual SAC membership for your child ($20) or the entire family ($50) and receive discounts on classes.

April 30 – Express Your True Colors: Shibori (Tie-Dye) Silk Scarf for Mother’s Day – Shibori is the collective term for all types of resist dyeing using binding, stitching, folding, clamping, pleating and wrapping. The common factor is the compression of the fabric which prevents the dye from accessing some areas which, when dyed and undone, yield a beautiful range of complex patterns. Students will learn about this technique by dying a silk scarf. We will also be experimenting with dying tissue paper for gift wrapping your scarf. Students may bring a 100% cotton item (like a T-shirt or pillow case) to tie-dye as well.
