Handwork

The practical arts, handcrafts and woodwork balance and complement the student's academic and artistic work. By learning to knit, crochet, sew and work with wood and clay, students develop manual dexterity, coordination, patience and problem solving as well as an appreciation for natural materials, a feeling for color, form and design, and a personal sense of achievement. Many areas of academic study such as math, history, geography and science, are enriched and reinforced through this work as well. What is learned through the hands and felt through the heart is learned deeply.
