Vivienne Westwood is a major fashion designer based in London. She is innovative and always experimenting. She invented punk, the tube skirt, slashed jeans and frayed sweaters. In this exciting week campers will create an argyle sock doll and a crazy cut bag from jeans. The campers will also print and design a squiggly tube dress. Not even the wildest imaginations can foresee the creations that will be invented this week.  

Local artist Karen Mckie makes one-of-a-kind dolls layered with history. Each doll has a distinctive personality. Inspired by Karen, campers will sew and construct their own dolls. Using natural materials and fabrics from around the world campers will make a family of dolls. Sparked by the art of Ndebele women of South Africa they will paint bold graphic designs on tin house forms and invent and paint their own fabric designs.  

With mosaics of shimmering mirrors Niki de Saint Phalle created giant Nanas (dancing figures) for sculpture parks and museums around the world. Her spirit was as big and bold as her sculptures. The campers will make tile and mirrored mosaics with fanciful images. With bold colors and soft fleece they will sew large cozy Nana dolls. Campers will draw colorful organic drawings inspired by Niki’s exuberant free spirit.
