Sewing: Fashion Exploration Youth Camp
Join a fashion workshop this summer for 4 days of fashion exploration! Students will learn how to use a sewing machine and serger, learn about personal style, fashion silhouettes, illustration, textiles and pattern drafting with draping on a mannequin. Students can experiment with many different techniques and tools, or focus on creating their own original design. Each student will work in their own sketchbook that they will take home at the end of camp to continue developing as a portfolio. This fashion workshop provides all the equipment and supplies, and respects each unique student's learning preferences. Ages 10-15.
