The Artisan exclusive Teen Design Program offers sewing skills that build to advanced techniques. The class size consists of no more than four students promoting a detailed learning environment at your own pace. Students will not only complete sewing projects in the studio, but also be encouraged to utilize their newly acquired skills to complete work independently at home.
In addition to basic skills of operating a sewing machine, students will learn proper measurement taking, pattern adjustment and pattern drafting, interpreting a design sketch, zipper insertion, buttonhole creation, inside finishing techniques, linings and much more! This class is ongoing throughout the school year and in the summer. For those who wish to prepare a portfolio for design school applications, we focus on the specific school requirements. While it is NOT a portfolio class, or art class, (we recommend taking art classes in order to enhance your design skills) we are familiar with several fashion school requirements and have helped prospective students prepare to apply. Please contact us if you are interested in this program as space is limited. |

Student Stories
Several of our students have come in wanting to learn fast and apply to fashion schools. Learning has taken on different forms, but all of these students also have taken art classes.
