KINDERGARTEN: ARTIST IN RESIDENCY WITH BRODERICK POOLE

About the Residency

This dynamic residency invites students to explore self-expression through fashion and design. Participants will create a personal character and design miniature outfits inspired by their own identities, interests, and lived experiences. Through guided, hands-on instruction, students will develop a personalized logo, experiment with diverse fabrics, and learn foundational sewing techniques. By the end of the residency, each student will complete a one-of-a-kind fashion artwork that celebrates individuality, creativity, and personal storytelling.
