Campaign supported by New Seasons Market
We are the Beaverton High School Free Form Fashion Design Club. This after school club was developed for students to explore a new-age approach to design, revolving around the use of imagination and retired garments. This club's aim is for students to become familiar with basic sewing and embroidery, and get an introduction to the design process. We want to unlock their creative potential! After exploring a variety of techniques, students may choose to follow the screen printing or sewing pathway. The course will culminate with a pop-up show or art show featuring student-produced garments. This class is in collaboration with Syner.
