This hands-on class explores students personal artistic interests, and will provide full access to our dye lab, screen printing facilities, sewing machines, looms, & more.

Our Residency Program

Textiles for Tweens students draw inspiration from our very talented, dedicated Artists in Residence. For 9 months, 8 artists and designers work at TAC toward an exhibition, while going through a professional development program. Alongside such artists and designers, our tween students get to observe the professional creative process, develop their own critical dialogue, and receive mentorship.
