TEXTILE ARTS SUMMER CAMP | Creative Matterz Fund

Guest User August 2, 2021

We have created a week long day summer camp and workshops geared towards kids ages 8-12. Using different themes on the environmental and social implications of the fast fashion industry, we want to educate kids about where their clothing comes from, who makes it and in what conditions, and what happens to it at the end of the life cycle. We have partnered with a Canadian non-profit organization called Fashion Takes Action to use some of their educational materials, and will also include textile arts projects so that kids can practice some techniques, get creative, and develop an appreciation for the work that goes into what we wear.
