SLab CNY Camps, Jan 28 – Feb 22

The SLab is seriously fab! Their CNY workshops for kids ranging from 8 – 12, offer an eclectic mix of cool and inspiring courses in fashion, film, and photography. Students will be given the opportunity to learn about a plethora of industries and have a go at building on their knowledge through practical, creative, and fun activities.

Sewing 101, Weeks 1-4 (Ages 8+)

Their most popular course introduces students to the world of sewing: how to use a sewing machine, and independently tackle basic troubleshooting tasks. Kids at the end of the course will walk away with a drawstring bag, made by their own sweet hands!

Metalsmithing 101, Weeks 1-3 (Ages 12+)

Students will learn how to pierce, saw, and finish metal pieces. This is a unique experience for kids to work with brass or silver to create their own jewelry or accessories to welcome in Chinese New Year.

Moviemaking, Weeks 1-3 (Ages 8+)

Lights, camera, action! Using the tools available to low-budget filmmakers, this camp will take students on a 101 moviemaking expedition. Using everyday digital devices and professional cameras, students will produce their own short movies under the supervision of fully qualified instructors. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t mind joining this workshop without the kids!

Movie Editing, Week 4 (Ages 12+)

This workshop is all about the seemingly mysterious planet that is post-production! Using iMovie, students will learn the foundational skills and techniques of editing, to create coherent and visually imaginative movies from footage shot by the previous moviemaking camp.

Digital Photography, Weeks 2-3 (Ages 8+)

The SLab’s latest program has been developed for students to understand the ins-and-outs of photography. Students will learn about composition and how to use a camera correctly. Students will be encouraged to capture stories of the world that they see all around them.
