The Style Shop is a fashion design and silkscreening studio. The shop has sewing machines, design and layout tables, and a stock of fabric, clothing and notions for students to use for projects. Our screen printing studio has computer stations with Photoshop for designing images, a dark room for developing images on screens, a project area for printing, and a specialized screen washing area.

In Style Shop , students create their own custom-made fashions and accessories. Students begin with a variety of projects such as logo design, computer design, and basic screen printing. As they progress through these projects they learn to sew and do alterations, building all the skills necessary for creating quality fashions. In workshops with visiting artists, students pursue advance fashion skills they are interested in including knitting, dyeing, and advanced graphic design. After their initial training, students work with staff mentors to set their own goals which may include producing more complex designs, creating a fashion line, or doing design and printing for other people. As they advance, students create a business models, budgets and marketing campaigns for their products or services.
