Design Your Own Curriculum-Aligned Clothing Line
Cassie Stephens
Instead of simply talking to your students about famous artists or
their works of art, why not become the three-dimensional element that brings
the experience to life? In this workshop, you will learn the art of needle
felting and apply that skill to the creation of an apron. This apron will be
designed with your own curriculum in mind and will be ready to wear in your art
room. Armed with this new method of altering clothing, as well as other
techniques introduced, you will be able to design your own curriculum-aligned
clothing line. Hands-On Workshop Studio (2 hours) Ticket Required. (Sorry, y'all. This one is SOLD OUT.)
