Columbus Fashion Academy

Monday, December 22 • 1–4 p.m. • Columbus Fashion Academy

Two creative worlds. One studio. Three magical hours of hands-on fashion fun.
Kids and teens get to choose their own adventure—pearls, embroidery, or a mix of both—designing custom pieces that fit their style and personality.

💎 Coco & Pearls – Modern Elegance Meets DIY Magic

Inspired by the timeless charm of Coco Chanel, this lab is all about transforming pearls into fresh, modern creations. Students can choose to:

• Design pearl jewelry
• Upcycle pre-loved clothing with pearl trims
• Add pearl details to accessories and gifts
• Create mini bags, cards, or textile gift wrap with pearly touches
• Or bring a favorite garment from home for a sparkling glow-up

Think of this as a mini Parisian studio—hot cocoa, vintage books, films, and endless inspiration.

✂️ Stitch Your Style – Embroidery Lab

Needle, thread, and pure personality. Perfect for kids who love slow-making, detail, and creative focus. Students may:

• Embroider initials, symbols, or tiny motifs
• Customize sweaters, jeans, canvas bags, or a personal favorite piece
• Use our fabrics and pre-loved items to stitch gifts or keepsakes
• Create embroidered cards or textile gift wrap

Some sewing experience helps, but motivated beginners (especially older kids) can thrive with our team’s guidance.

🧵 What’s Included

All tools, supplies, fabrics, hoops, threads, trims, pearls, and inspiration are provided. Each student completes at least one project—many will finish more.

🎀 Extras

• Hot cocoa served during our mid-class break while watching Chanel video clips
• Boutique-size group for individual support
• PLEASE NOTE: PBS is doing a special on Columbus Fashion Academy, and we might have cameras on-site this afternoon. We can prevent your child from being interviewed (if you requested/noted not to have promotional photos/videos during enrollment), but we can not guarantee they will not be shown in the background/studio.

⚠️ Space is limited

Pearls—and seats—go fast!
