2-DAY COURSE, Saturday and Sunday
Join us for a dynamic weekend journey into the world of fashion draping techniques with our intensive 2-day course. Designed as an introduction to the art of fashion draping, participants will delve into the fundamental skills necessary to transform their creative visions into tangible garments.
Throughout the course, participants will receive expert guidance as they learn to prepare a dress form and master the draping of basic skirt and bodice blocks using muslin fabric. Through hands-on practice, students will explore the nuances of fabric manipulation and form, gaining invaluable insights into the principles of garment construction.
In addition to draping, participants will discover the essential process of transferring their muslin creations onto paper patterns, laying the groundwork for further exploration and experimentation in their design journey.
