Music Workshop this weekend at Cooper-Hewitt (NY)
This Saturday I’m giving a music workshop for high school students in New York at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (Smithsonian Institution). It’s only open to 30 high schoolers, so if you’d like to register do so here.
Design Directions is a series of free design-education programs for New York City high-school students, developed to introduce them to collegiate and career opportunities in design. Programs include design studios with professional designers, college visits, studio visits, and portfolio workshops.
Trizzy luh the kids!
