The Rockford Park District's Outdoor Education and Recreation department invites you to a monthly Craft Club series, where we will be diving into nature-themed crafting experiences. From whittling to clay to willow weaving and so many things in between, sign up for one or several courses in this series as we learn introductory techniques for a wide variety of unique and creative activities selected to broaden your crafting horizons. Each course is meant to be a standalone experience that compliments other projects within the series. Courses will be two hours in length, setting you up with the basics to complete each project. Seasonally, Craft Club will rotate between locations: Atwood Center and the lodge at Alpine Hills Adventure Park. Come find a new perspective on an old favorite crafting activity or learn something completely new!
Unplug and unwind with our August installment of Craft Club! Nature journaling offers a restorative escape, providing an outlet for creative expression and a proven way to reduce stress and promote mindfulness. Join us to slow down, engage all your senses, and capture the details of the natural environment. This course will guide you through simple prompts to help you dig deeper into your experience and find solace and balance in nature's beauty as we wander the woodland trails. This course is beginner friendly, and no prior art experience is necessary. Journaling materials provided. If you have participated in any of the Quill and Ink, Paper Making, or Book Binding courses, this Nature Journaling workshop provides a wonderful opportunity to put your past creations to use thru this meditative and mindful journaling experience.
August's Craft Club will be held at the lodge at Atwood Center (2685 New Milford School Rd, Rockford, IL). Registration is $20 per session. Must be age 16 and up to register. Crafting supplies will be provided.
