Program Description

Event Details

This is an adaptive art and craft class for teens and young adults with disabilities. Join us in the library's MakerLab to make mini felt photo frames. In this class we’ll use felt, beads, and yarn to create personalized felt photo frames. We’ll practice a variety of skills including cutting, hand sewing, glueing, and stringing beads. Participants will choose whether they want their frame to have a magnet on the back or hang from a ribbon. 

Who should sign up? This class welcomes teens ages 14+ and young adults with disabilities. In order to attend alone, participants need to be independent in a group and able to follow 1-2 step directions with prompting or volunteer assistance. If they require additional support, a parent or staff must stay with them.
