Eight weeks is enough time to start something real.

The Mini Incubator is where students in 3rd through 5th grade get their first real taste of the design process — from idea to finished piece. They'll work with materials, make decisions, solve problems, and build something they can hold at the end. Not a craft. A design creation they can wear.

This isn't a class where everyone makes the same thing. Students develop their own ideas and bring them to life with the guidance of an experienced CFA instructor in a small, focused studio environment.

What your child will learn: Introduction to fashion design and construction · Creative decision-making and problem-solving · How to develop and execute an original idea · Confidence that comes from finishing what you started

The Mini Incubator is a natural next step after Creative Fashion Club — and a strong foundation for The Atelier.
