About this Event
Welcome to Fashion Arts Workshop! Become the designer, tailor, and model! Each student will sketch, drape, sew, and style a complete outfit, and present it in a fashion show for friends and family in the final session.
This is an immersive, hands on experience for any children age 7-12 interested in fashion design or sewing.
No experience necessary! We provide all the materials, and our skilled instructors will guide kids through the entire process, from choosing fabric to making their ideas a reality.
