The Makery Launches Craft-Centric Summer Camps

​When Jane Watson opened The Makery in 2017, she sought to establish it as a “community handcrafting space” where people could gather around a community worktable and learn an array of creative pursuits, from sewing and floral arrangement to weaving, painting and calligraphy.

Watson has done exactly that, and with her creative hub established on the Sunnyside Ave. side of El Paseo Lane, which also includes El Paseo restaurant, Alexander’s Artisan Rugs and Bossa Nova Clothing, she’s spreading her wings a bit and launching four weeks of summer camps – two weeks in June and two weeks in August – designed to engage children ages 10-14.  

The camps will cover a wide range of craft-making, including felt flowers, embroidery, needle-felted cacti, rubber stamp carving, watercolor, fairy houses, leather crafting and weaving, among others. The camps will be taught by artist Eva Brazer, as well as children’s art instructor and watercolorist Carol Hamrick, and Watson herself.
