Using simple printmaking techniques, you'll design your own artwork, roll on colorful ink, and make unique prints to take home. Experiment with shapes, patterns, textures, and colors while discovering how a single design can create many different images.Stories of the Three SistersStories of the Three Sisters: Corn Husk Doll Making is a hands-on workshop where kids learn the Indigenous story of the Three Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—while creating their own corn husk dolls. Through storytelling and art-making, participants explore connections to nature, culture, and community.August 20CrochetLearn to crochet and make something to flaunt your style: participants choose between a few design ideas - making a wearable pouch (with a crocheted strap), wristlets, set of animal coasters or headband/neckpiece. Speedy creators can make multiples or variations; meticulous/mindful creators can develop one unique item of inspiration. I will provide some pre-cut felt pieces for adding cat-ears and animal features. We will be playing with colorful bulky yarns for visual pop.Hohokum Shell EtchingJoin Anna-Celestrya Carr, an Indigenous artist and storyteller, for a hands-on children’s workshop inspired by historic shell etching traditions. Children will look at patterns, shapes, and symbols found in shell art, then create their own etched-style shell design to take home. Through storytelling and art-making, participants will explore how shells can hold memory, meaning, and beauty.August 21Clothing UpcyclingDo you have a favorite pair of pants or a shirt that you just love and don't want to throw away but would like to transform into a mini art object that you can actually wear? This class is for you! If you bring in an item of clothing, I will bring in all the other things you need to make it a little more fabulous. Fabric scraps, odds and ends of trinkets and other things I have in my "stash "of cool objects can be added to anything. We can sew them or glue them and I will bring everything you need other than the original pieces of clothing. I have some great patchwork shirts that I've made, which are really fun and very practical. Anything goes when it comes to fabric and playing with different materials.Stuffed Animal MakingMake lovable and colorful stuffed animal friends with fabric glue, felt, and basic sewing! In this workshop, students will create a custom stuffie to be friends with for life.Pricing$60 per day$250 for the full weekDiscounts20% off for siblings25% off for Somerville Museum members50% off for EBT cardholdersWorkshop schedule and activities are subject to change. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/somerville/vacation-arts-program/100001992087160322 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, kids, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Somerville Museum - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 33.85, max: 268.61, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Somerville - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Somerville Museum - **lat**: 42.386978 - **long**: -71.10475459999999 - **full address**: Somerville Museum, 1 Westwood Road, Somerville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Vacation Arts Program - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/6476065b3d71ec4dd6badfdcc7b231936df32311d9bf19331cfd595aaa98857e-rimg-w1200-h598-dc7aaebc-gmir.jpg?v=1782358758 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Vacation Arts Program being held? - **A:** Vacation Arts Program takes place on Mon, 17 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am to Fri, 21 Aug, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Somerville Museum, 1 Westwood Road, Somerville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Vacation Arts Program? - **A:** Vacation Arts Program is organized by Somerville Museum. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
