Following the pattern of TV’s “Project Runway,” my 8 to 11 year old students create these designs in my "Trashion" workshops. The girls are divided into teams and given an array of trashy items I’ve collected. And of course we have runway shows with guest judges. Every summer we exhibit the work. In the of 2011 we collaborated on a fundraiser with Donna Karan’s Urban Zen and exhibited the collection in the store. This summer we had a spectacular runway show in the Hamptons. (Ironic, yes!) Here are some additional photos.
I'll be at Maker Faire this coming weekend, September 29th & 30th.
I love the magical process of collaboration and invention that occurs in these classes. Thanks to Treehugger.com for the wonderful article about my work!
