Check out some pics from our visit to the legendary Rap-A-Lot Records of Houston, TX.

If you know anything about the programming we offer to our middle school students here, you know that each program tackles some pretty cool stuff. If you’ve ever thought “Hey, I’d like to know how to do that,” finally, here is your chance!

For three hours every Saturday in February, join Jill in Style Shop & learn the basics of sewing, just like our students do! You do not need to have any previous experience- all equipment, tools, instruction, & some fabric is supplied.

For the low cost of $80, you can reserve your spot in this limited-availability class. Learn to use a sewing machine, read a pattern, & much more. Over the course of four weeks, sew your own pillowcase, reversible tote bag, & stylish tunic!

Reserve your spot by contacting us with your deposit (contact@workshophouston.org or 713.807.7911), & come prepared to sew!

Schedule of Style Shop Adult Classes:

Saturdays, February 4th, 11th, 18th, & 25th, 9am-12pm.

(*Please Note: No make-up times have been allocated for this class- please be sure to clear your schedule in order to make it to these sessions. Class size is limited to the first five people who register- secure your spot today!)

“The zoo was awesome. I got to see my favorite animal which is a lion, but he was asleep. Lions are my favorite because they are fierce and friendly at the same time. I also learned that there is an animal that is part zebra and part horse. It has legs that are striped like a zebra and the brownish body of a horse. I can’t name one favorite part of our trip to the zoo because it was all exciting.”

Workshop Houston’s mission is to provide youth with creative, technical and educational resources. Our vision is to lay the groundwork for a just society by creating a community that provides youth with support, expanded opportunities and alternative definitions of success. Workshop Houston has five shops that provide resources and support for young people: the Third Ward Bike Shop (do-it-yourself bike repair), the Chopper Shop (welding and metal fabrication), the Beat Shop (hip-hop music production), the Style Shop (fashion design) and the Scholar Shop (tutoring and academic enrichment).

The Tipping Point is Houston’s first and only sneaker lifestyle store located in Downtown on the ground floor of the Historic Humble Building. We curate an eclectic collection of sneakers, books, art, apparel, music, and accessories that are a reflection of the Tipping Point lifestyle. Our ongoing mission is to expose new innovative products and ideas that reflect our beliefs to our hand picked audience. We also seek to educate our guest on the history of our products.
