Learn the ins and outs of being a fashion designer from Colorado eco-designer Deb Henriksen of Equilibrium!

♥ Making a dress / skirt / accessories from an old t-shirt!  No sewing required. Taught by Saraphina Mesmer. I first took Sara’s workshop 10 years ago and it truly taught me how to look at repurposing clothes in a really fun way! I’m excited to have her teach these young fashionistas!

oldtees♥ Working with fellow campers to create a mini fashion magazine

  • Cutting fashion clips out of magazines
  • Writing a fashion article
  • Doing a fashion interview with a fellow camper

Campers will need to bring their own lunch / snack.
