Sign up Today for Marionette Camp! |
|
|
Join Tom Bohrer, 19th Ward neighbor and master puppeteer, on Monday, July 25, as he teaches us how to create marionettes! Class time will be 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day, Monday through Thursday that week. On Friday, July 29, we have scheduled an optional opportunity for any campers who would like to spend extra time on their creations. Marionette-making takes time, so this camp will be two weeks long. We will continue working Monday - Thursday, August 1 - 4, and on Friday, August 5, Marionette Camp ends with a Puppet Show! Come, be part of the fun! Ages 10 & up. And by "up" we mean any double-digit age or higher! Cost of class and materials, $50. Call 585-328-2642 or email info@sewgreenrochester.org today! On the right: Meet Than (short for Nathaniel), a marionette with attitude created by our very own Tom Bohrer! |

Stitchin' on the Sidewalk Saturdays!
Every fair-weather Saturday, we will be out on our sidewalk from 2 to 5 p.m., with the tent up and the treadle sewing machine out. Join us for a few minutes or a few hours, as we create in the great outdoors! Street parking is usually plentiful on Arnett Boulevard, and on our adjacent side Avenues, Kenwood and Wellington. Look for our tent, and stop in for a while! Bring your knitting, crocheting, or whatever needlework makes your heart sing. Chances are it will make our hearts sing too! |
