Challenge:

Your TASK is to make patches for our big stuffed shark with your friends. You may also help us perform an INSTANT SEA SHANTY.

Time:

In Part One, you will have 2hrs to use your IMAGINATION to make and add SICK PATCHES to our shark (and start thinking of a sea shanty together). In Part Two, you will have 30min to finish adding patches and record our INSTANT SEA SHANTY.

Set-up:

We will be indoors at a venue just north of Cal Anderson. We will have tables with materials (feel free to bring your own supplies!). We will also have chairs. This venue is ADA Accessible.

Procedure:

Part One - 1pm-3pm (2hrs):

Make a patch! It's kinda like a community quilt. You will be able to handsew patches, block print things, and use fabric paint/spray paint. If you have more ideas, let us know or bring your own supplies!

We will have teachers who can help you on your task! Just ask a volunteer if you need support.

If you come up with any lyrics of a possible INSTANT SEA SHANTY, tell a friend or start singing it. Together we MUST develop a sea shanty.

Part Two - 3pm-3:30pm (30min):

Sing the INSTANT SEA SHANTY into a recording device, help stuff the shark, add patches, or smile at someone else. We will then put the recording in the shark so you can press it and it makes the sound.

You may continue working on your patches.

Materials:

Sewing: Needles and thread, Irons, Sewing Machine
