Join us this summer for a week of creativity, fun, and fashion as we explore storytelling through design and printmaking.
This exciting 6-day camp is designed for teens who are passionate about fashion and eager to express their unique stories. Participants will brainstorm ideas, extract elements of their stories, and then bring it all together on a custom fabric design throughout this camp. We will look at eco-friendly practices and methods in creating textile art and also at the importance of slow fashion.
