Pre-College Dreaming + Draping + Dressing

Katarina Rimarcikova

Beginning introduction to basic garment construction and production as well as developing a fashion statement through appropriate accessories, looks, and styling. Through the practice of draping muslin on the mannequin, students will seek to understand how materials fall and the foundation of pattern shapes. Essential garment assembly techniques are introduced. Short project briefs encourage intensive 3-dimensional research and an exploration of a variety of 3D methods and techniques. The course initiates a flexible, experimental and critical approach towards materials, volumes, and shapes from which design concepts emanate into an individual, personal style.

Please note that course availability is contingent on sufficient enrollment and that classes are subject to cancellation.
