Fashion Art + Design is a class for creative students ages 6 through 13 years old.  Students learn all about fashion design by sketching the fashion figure, creating a style book of their favorite fashion images, designing their own fabric, and drawing clothing. This is a great starter class for a budding fashionista who wants to learn to design clothing. Students learn to sew by hand but do not work on sewing machines.  The class will conceptualize their own clothing line with a name, logo, and collection. This class ends with a fashion show and gallery exhibition for parents and friends.
