Workshop with DIY instructor Lesley Ware (The Creative Cookie)
Lesley Ware, an experienced crafter and fashion blogger, will lead this teen workshop. The DIY session will commence with an introduction on the element of design, followed by hand sewing instruction. Next, Lesley will have participants sketch their ideas out on paper. During the final stage of the workshop, participants will be guided through a hands-on process of making various accessories including box braid earrings, hex nut bracelets, and belt making.
About DIY DAY:
For kids and teens ages 12-19 who love fashion or simply making things themselves, participants will get an up-close look at selected garments and accessories featured in the museum’s Shanghai Glamour and Front Row exhibitions and then use their experiences as inspiration for their own original accessories. At the end of the workshop, each participant’s work will be photographed and included in a DIY DAY online look book on MOCA’s Tumblr. Everyone can bring home their own DIY accessories.
