Build your design toolkit! Design Practice is a series of free, drop-in workshops for high school students exploring techniques, strategies, and careers in design. No prior experience required—just bring yourself and a creative mindset. This month, join us for a workshop with designer Liam Lee, whose work is featured in our current exhibition Making Home. Get inspired by Lee’s needle felting skills and learn how to create your very own needle-felted patch to add to a beanie. All materials are included!

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Program Length: 2 hours. Please join us any time between 4:30-5:15 so you have enough time to enjoy the event! Interactivity Level: High. Participants will design their own bioplastic object guided by a guest designer. Intended Audience: High school students ages 13-18.

Design Practice is developed for teens only, no adults are permitted.

Venue: Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
