For thousands of years, clothing and wearable art have told stories about who we are and what we are capable of doing. Taking inspiration from the draped garments seen in Greek sculpture, as well as wearable and symbolic objects throughout the Carlos Museum—from masquerade traditions in the African galleries to beaded bags in the Art of the Americas—campers will explore the world of wearable art. Through hands-on making, students will develop sewing skills (both hand and machine) and experiment with fabric manipulation techniques to create their own expressive wearable artworks.
About the teaching artist
Sara Perez, a self-described bringer of whimsy and sass, builds small things with a whole lot of heart. Sara is a costume designer, fiber artist, arts educator, and a fairy godmother. Her creative journey started dancing with trees and at the ballet barre as a small child, her love of making started early and runs deep. Sara has a particular heart for middle schoolers and currently spends her days teaching art at Shiloh Middle School. Her evenings are spent sewing and embroidering.
