The Rockford Park District's Outdoor Education and Recreation department invites you to our 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!
Get ready to take a dip into the wonderful world of papermaking! It is time for our June Craft Club! In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn to process recycled paper goods, create pulp, and master sheet formation, couching, and pressing to produce your own unique paper. Explore adding color, texture, and even embedding elements from nature to elevate your creations, turning simple pulp into functional art, cards, or decorative pieces. Get ready to get messy, build a tactile relationship with fiber, and walk away with skills to continue your papermaking journey at home!
June's Craft Club will be held at Atwood Center (2685 New Milford School Road, Rockford IL). Registration is $20 per session. Must be age 16 and up to register. Crafting supplies will be provided.
