The Brookfield Craft Center Hands-On Summer Youth Program is celebrating its 11th year of inspiring creativity! This program offers small class sizes where students ages 8-16 receive individual attention in a warm and welcoming environment.
Choose from a variety of classes offered in themed studios to explore the joy of crafting: Forge (blacksmith basics, advanced), Modern Craft Studio (digital photography, social media, digital illustration), Ceramics Studio, Glass Studio (bead making, fused glass, mosaics), Woodturning Studio (basic woodturning, turn your own bat, bowls, etc.), Fiber Arts (woven wire sculpture, Sashiko stitching, sewing, embroidery and more) and Multi-Mediums (linocut and nature printmaking, acrylic, watercolor and more).
Each summer class will be led by an experienced instructor who teaches various craft mediums at a basic skill level. Classes will be limited in size to insure one on one instruction.

Week One - June 23 – June 27
Week Two – July 7 – July 11
Week Three – July 21 – July 25

A supervised lunch session is available from 12pm-1pm for children staying on campus between the morning and afternoon sessions for an additional $40. Lunches are not provided.
