Oakland Public Library Exhibit


October 12th through November 30th Street Style/Dream Seams will have our first exhibit at the Main Branch of the Oakland Public Library outside of the TeenZone.

Photos, original fashion illustrations, and biographies have received a positive reception from the library staff and interest from the visitors. Included in the exhibit are: Breanna, Kai, Lily, Patricia, Nancy, Melinda, and Tanya, and a biography and photo of Kristi the course facilitator.

We look forward to working with the library on future photo shoots.

Street Style October 6th



We had our first class this week at Rock Paper Scissors Collective .

We had teacher/student introductions and delicious snacks graciously donated by La Farine Bakery. We signed our commitment contracts and took home our necessary paper work for guardian permission for field trips and such.

Then we wrote our initial biographies and took our head shots which will be posted on the blog as of next week.

We had a studio tour and discovered our sewing station with over ten machines (both industrial and home) and our consignment shop where the group will have a rack and take an amazing 80% of the sale!

The information from our first class and the  program will be highlighted at the main branch of the Oakland Public Library just outside Teenzone.
