Beginning & advanced sewingTeacher: Ruth Hernandez
First semester beginning sewing students learn about the sewing machine, its parts, and how to use it. They learn proper sewing techniques and about all of the important sewing supplies. They learn to pin, lay out, and cut out projects as they construct simple, fun, practical items: a pillow case, book cover, laundry bag, and tote bag.
Intermediate students make a small quilt, apron, pot holder, skirt, and pajamas. More advanced students select patterns of their own choice, learning more advanced techniques such as zippers, gathering, buttons and buttonholes, facings, sleeves, specialty fabrics, collars, sleeves, etc. Textbook: “Stitches and Pins” by JoAnn Gagnon,
Students will also need to bring to class a sewing machine, sewing machine needles, bobbins, extension cord, 3-prong pocket folder, thread, hand sewing needles, ruler, tracing wheel, tracing paper, tape measure, seam gauge, pins, pin cushion, seam ripper, dressmaker shears (sewing scissors), water-soluble marking pens/pencils, and materials for each current project. |

New and seasoned budding chefs will step into the kitchen like it’s their very first day of culinary school in this Culinary & Baking Bootcamp led by Chef Jess. Each week, students will build confidence while practicing real kitchen skills in a fun, hands-on way. Kid Chefs will explore knife skills, stocks and chef-made sauces, vegetables, and grain dishes such as orzo and quick pastas like gnocchi. They’ll also dive into baking by making quick breads like homemade English muffins and working with dough to create pizza from scratch. As they practice foundational cooking methods such as sautéing and poaching, students will learn how and why these techniques work. We’ll wrap up with our Junior Culinary /Baking Restaurant Showcase — a special meal prepared by the chefs to bring home and share with loved ones.
