Children will become familiar with a variety of textiles and will explore fundamental design principles including pattern, form, and function through a series of projects including basic fabric printing, weaving, and designing/creating their own wearable pieces. Students will be exposed to the work of fashion pioneers to further increase their knowledge of the field of fashion.
