Seven weeks is enough time to start something real.

The Mini Incubator gives participants their first serious experience with the fashion design process — from concept to construction. Over 7 focused sessions, they'll develop an original idea, work with real materials, and build something worth keeping. Not a project. A design piece you can wear.

This cohort is designed for 5th graders and older who are ready to go deeper than a single-session workshop but aren't yet ready to commit to a full semester. It's also a powerful re-entry point for returning CFA students exploring a new direction.

What your child will learn: Fashion design fundamentals · Construction and materials exploration · Creative confidence and independent thinking · How to see an idea through from start to finish

The Mini Incubator is the bridge between Creative Fashion Club and The Atelier.
