Teen Design Challenge
June 25–29, 9 AM–3 PM
Location: AAM Education Workshop

Design and build for a better world in this collaborative project-based workshop with a special focus on fort and furniture design. We’ll work to create both an educational tool and comfy space for local preschool clients, using colorful textiles, soft fabrics, and forms. Teens will unveil their design solutions at an art show for friends and family at the end of the week.

Fashion for Real

Expand your skills and style in this advanced workshop for teens.
