SUMMARY:Vintage Sewing Kit Making Class
DESCRIPTION:In the 18th century\, both men and women often carried small fabric kits to keep sewing materials handy for domestic projects and inevitable necessary repairs on clothing. Useful and beautiful\, these sewing kits continued in popularity into the mid-20th century. \nAll materials will be prepared for participants to make their own sewing kit. Remaining examples of historical versions show a great diversity in design\, and you will have the opportunity to customize yours\, as well\, through fabric choices and personalized inclusions based on your needs and style preferences.  Each kit will also include a needle\, needle-threader\, basic thread colors on wooden spools\, and an assortment of pins. Small\, historically-inspired scissors will be available for $5. \nA basic knowledge of sewing is all that’s required to make this kit by hand\, however the instructor will have a sewing machine available to use for the sake of speed and ease. Participants can also feel free to bring their own machine\, as well.

SUMMARY:NEW!!! VR Experience with IMMOTION
DESCRIPTION:Step back 66 million years and journey through the final chapter of the age of dinosaurs in Dinosaur Evolution—a thrilling immersive experience that brings the Cretaceous world to life. Witness feathered raptors on the hunt\, armored giants defending their turf\, and the mighty T. rex at the top of the food chain. But even these perfectly evolved creatures couldn’t escape Earth’s most devastating extinction event. Stunning visuals and cutting-edge science reveal how evolution shaped the dinosaurs—and how birds\, their modern-day descendants\, continue their legacy. It’s a prehistoric adventure that will inspire the next generation of paleontologists and conservationists alike.
