Teen Workshops

Build your design toolkit! Our teen drop-in program, Design Practice is a series of free monthly workshops exploring techniques, strategies, and careers in design. Participants are not required to participate in all workshops, and no prior experience is needed—just bring yourself and a creative mindset! Learn to weave, make a print, or just talk to a designer and meet some new creative people.

Programs are designed for teens ages 14–18 and run from November to June. Snacks are provided.
