Whistle and Warp: Kids Fiber Art and Music Camp

Aug 4 - Aug 8, 9 am - 3 pm Daily

Open to children ages 5 - 16

$200 (financial aid available)

Fiber Camp will be held in Fayetteville at the Folk School of Fayetteville (207 W Center St).

This camp will focus on folk traditions of fiber art and music. Ozark Folkways fiber art instructor Abby Hollis will take students along the fiber journey from sheep to finished product. When students aren’t crafting fibers, they’ll be crafting tunes. Folk School of Fayetteville music instructor Bernice Hembree, along with a handful of special guests, will teach kids folk music traditions. Our hope through Whistle and Warp Camp is to help students connect with the material world and their particular place within it by gaining a better understanding of the ways that humanity has traditionally manipulated materials to spark joy.

Snacks provided but children will bring their own lunches. Showcase event will be held Friday afternoon for friends and family.

Financial aid is available for families who receive SNAP Benefits, and discounts are available for families who plan to enroll multiple children in Fiber Camp. Please reach out to info@ozarkfolkways.org for details.
