My Project

My students attend a visual and performing arts school. They are dedicated to building upon their talents with dedicated practice. This project will afford students the opportunity to learn sewing craft skills and increasingly expand on their creative talents.

Students are excited to create functional and wearable items for personal use; to support the school community in stage productions as well as for entrepreneurial events at school and beyond.

Their fashion items may potentially be seen in many locations; on display as they traverse their city - New York City!
