MAKE IT! Studio does not have upcoming sessions on ActivityHero right now. We can send you an email when they do.
MAKE IT! Studio offers small-group classes for students interested in fashion illustration, crafting, jewelry-making and sewing. Kids work with their hands making fun, creative fashion and craft projects while learning to sew. Most of all, they build creativity and confidence in themselves.
Due to the pandemic, we are now offering our craft and sewing classes outdoors in the lovely Old Stone House Park in Park Slope Brooklyn. We will still be offering our Fashion Illustration class online for those of you who prefer to stay remote. We will be holding our camp for at least 4 weeks this summer at the restaurant Palo Santo in Park Slope. They have the ideal in and outdoor space where we can set up our sewing machines and craft away!
The instructor, Lara Kazan, is also the own of our studio. She has been teaching children for 4 years and prior to that she worked as a designer in the fashion Industry! A few years ago Lara was given the great privilege to teach at Brooklyn's Curious Jane, where she was able to spend consecutive full days really getting to know her students and seeing their skills improve tremendously throughout the course of the week. She fell in love with the idea of opening her own school. To gain more experience working with children, she spent the last 2 years teaching for different elementary and middle public after school programs learning how to work with children of different ages and most importantly finding out what projects they enjoy most and how best to stimulate their creativity. The classes she is teaching have kids from all different skill levels, so learning how she can manage kids who learn at different speeds has become one of her best takeaways from this.
Since the pandemic quickly adjusted to an online curriculum and is now offering classes outdoors in Park Slope.
