Fashion Lab Days
We are bringing Fashion Lab Days back! These single-day immersive workshops are where youth dive into a specific theme, skill, or inspiration and walk away with something amazing they’ve made themselves. Each Lab is different, so there’s always something new to discover, explore, and try.
Program Details:
- When: Various dates throughout the year
- Time: Varies. Most typical am session 9:00-11:30 or pm session 2:00-4:30
- Where: Our new studio on the CCAD campus
- Theme: Changes every Lab—could be runway accessories, cultural textile arts, upcycled fashion challenges, wearable art, photoshoot production or a mystery design challenge!
In each Lab, participants will experiment with techniques like hand and machine sewing, embroidery, fabric painting, applique, draping, and upcycling—turning deadstock fabrics and pre-loved garments into one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story. The best part? Every Lab is a self-contained adventure—perfect for returning again and again to grow new skills and creativity over time.
Just like our other programs, Fashion Lab Days go far beyond fashion and fun (though we promise there’s plenty of both!). They’re about:
- Artistic freedom: Being unapologetically yourself.
- Intentionality: Learning slow fashion and caring for people and the planet.
- Life skills: Creative problem-solving, teamwork, communication, leadership, resilience, and persistence.
- Connection: A tech-free environment where kids collaborate and grow, guided by caring instructors who are not only skilled but deeply passionate about youth development and lifelong learning.
We’re proud to be the pioneers of sustainable fashion education for kids in Ohio, starting with just two students back in 2017. Today, our programs continue to inspire confidence, creativity, and purpose in every child who walks through our doors.
Space is always limited to keep the experience boutique and personal—so watch our calendar, sign up often, and let your child’s imagination run wild.
