Fibre Art Camp Aug 6-9

  • Each day we will venture uptown, drawing inspiration from our surroundings.

    Join us as we transform daily experiences into unique fibre art pieces, stitching with meaning and creativity.

    We are also currently looking for spaces to display the participants artwork after the camp, if they so choose.

Market Camp Aug 12-16

  • This camp was a big hit last year!

    Learn the skills and steps needed to run a small market business. Students and instructors will create a business plan together, make products, and finish the week with a market to sell their products in front of the shop. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to our student sponsorship programs or other chosen charity.

Summer Sewing School Teens & Adults

  • More info will be coming soon!

General Information

  • Our summer camps will run Mon-Fri 9am-4pm, except for the Fibre Art camp which will run Tue-Fri.

  • Most of the day will be spent sewing in our studio, but we’ll also have some fun outings planned. Outing may include Rainbow Park Spray Park, Fort La Tour, Area 506 concert area, Queen Square, walks in our beautiful uptown neighbourhood, and specific businesses/venues associated with each specific camp. More details will be emailed out to participants a week before the camp.

  • Suggested ages are 7-13. Please note, not all 7yr olds are ready for a “Skills” camp like this, but some are, so we like to include them! If you have questions about whether or not our camps are a good fit for your young child, please reach out to us.

  • Our Fibre Arts camp is also great for teens!

  • Participants will need to bring a lunch, snack, and water bottle everyday. Walking shoes, and weather appropriate clothing would be good too.

  • We have a small concession in our store where participants can purchase snacks if they choose.

  • If you have any questions, please direct them to Jacquie at hello@thesewist.ca
