About this Event
Welcome to Fashion Arts Workshop, CIFA's flagship program guides young designers from sketch to runway! Become the designer, tailor, and model. Each student will learn to sketch, drape, sew and style a complete outfit, and participate in a professional fashion photoshoot!
This is an immersive, hands-on experience for any children age 7-12 who are interested in fashion design or sewing.
No experience is necessary! We provide all the tools and materials you need. Our skilled instructors will guide kids through the entire process, from choosing fabric to making their ideas a reality!
