Tonight's event will be held at New Dorp High School (465 New Dorp Lane, between Hylan Blvd. and Mill Rd.) in Staten Island; the final workshop is set for Thursday at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan (Bldg. A, enter on W. 27th St. between Seventh and Eighth Aves.). Each begins at 6:30 p.m.
