June is here, and 4-H is offering two low-cost workshops to help build new skills, meet new people, and just have fun!
Sewing 101 will start June 5 in Yorkville
In this four-part program, youth and teens will learn the parts of a sewing machine, practice sewing and turning corners, and make a square pillow cover and a pillowcase! Participants will need to bring their own sewing machine and some supplies, and 4-H will provide the facility and adult guidance.
This series is great to build new skills and complete a sewing project for fair or just for fun. The four-session workshop will run 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. June 5, 8, 12, and 13 in Yorkville. Learn more and sign up at go.illinois.edu/DKK4Hsewing2023. Cost per person is $20. Space may be limited.
Theatre Arts 101 starts June 13 in St. Charles
In this six-part program, youth ages 8 to 12 will explore different facets of theatre arts. Participants will have fun learning about diction, stage directions, vocal projection and dynamics, movement, presence, and more with seasoned professional and 4-H staff member Katie McFarland.
Build skills great for the stage, public speaking, 4-H conference judging, school presentations, or just for fun. Plus, put on a mini-showcase for family and friends! This six-session workshop will run 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. June 13-15 and June 20-22 in St. Charles. Learn more and sign up at go.illinois.edu/DKK4Htheatre2023. Cost per person is $25. Space may be limited.
