    • This advanced Workshop for teens considering a career in fashion will cultivate a personal sense of style and brand. Throughout the week, teens will move independently through all steps of the design process to create a highly personal and wearable work of art. This Workshop includes a professional fashion shoot and culminates in a runway show for family and friends. Prior experience with a sewing machine encouraged.

    • After taking a trip to visit Shinique Smith’s installation Resonant Tides (2015) at Elk Camp in Snowmass, Workshop participants will have the chance to create their own mountain-inspired collaborative mural that will be presented at the Old Fashioned 4th of July Parade. Students will learn painting and drawing techniques that apply to artworks of all sizes. Participation in the 4th of July parade is strongly encouraged.
