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!
From loose leaves to bound books. Come on out and explore beginner book binding techniques in our July installment of Craft Club! In this fun workshop we will learn a variety of introductory binding techniques, terminology, and tools while utilizing natural and found materials to craft a tome that is truly unique. If you have participated in our Handmade Paper course, this month’s club is an excellent way to turn that hand-crafted, recycled paper into a wonderfully personalized journal.
July's Craft Club will be held at the lodge at Atwood Center (2685 New Milford School Rd, Rockford, IL 61109-4435, United States). Registration is $20 per session. Must be age 16 and up to register. Crafting supplies will be provided.
