For high school students (rising freshmen to graduated seniors) of all genders


Calling all creative teens who have a favorite thrift store, mix and match their pieces, and have a style all their own! Join WAM and Wichita designer Nina Winter for a teen fashion workshop inspired by the portrait exhibition Framed in Friendship: American Women Artists and Their Networks. The free two-day workshop will focus on self-expression, making friends, and upcycling a garment in your closet–your t-shirt that has a hole, jeans that aren’t quite right, or dress that’s almost your favorite. We’ll have the sewing machine, instructions (even for total beginners), and materials. All we need is you and that item from your wardrobe.


After the workshop, meet us back here and bring a friend on Friday, May 29. for a WAM Night: Models & Mocktails Teen Takeover–a live fashion sketching class with Stella Hankins of Bella Bonita Design.
