IN-SCHOOL SEWING PROGRAMS
THAT FOCUS ON MENTORSHIP, CONFIDENCE, INCLUSION, AND EQUITY.
Denise Wild’s Sewing Studio is a specialty program like you’ve never seen before — a dynamic, engaging sewing workshop that breaks the creative mold, inspiring and uplifting kids across the Greater Toronto Area, all while teaching a valuable life skill and bringing back a lost art.
Here’s how it works:
- We come to your school with 15 to 30 sewing machines and our all-star team, and we set up a creative maker space in your library, gym, or available classroom.
- Kids (starting as young as kindergarten!) learn how to sew using a sewing machine, and each student completes a fun, personalize project.
- Our team of stereotype-busting mentors guides each student through success, working on a 1-to-5 ratio, providing an incredible, hands-on experience.
Students gain confidence, develop their growth mindset, and complete their very own customized project from start to finish, all while being motivated and inspired!
Not only is sewing a practical life skill, it gets kids hands-on and helps them flex their creative muscles. Added bonus: Sewing also helps kids feel joyful, mindful, and focused!
SEW COOL!
