In this workshop, students will practice a personal creative language by collecting ideas in soft materials and creating a collage of images. Each week, students will fill journals with images and ideas, using them to develop our design muscle. Our outlook will be broadened by a variety of starting points for thinking about design. By integrating knowledge from the fashion world, including machine and hand sewing, pattern construction, basic understanding of textiles and fabric selection, and the development of functional details, the workshop will connect visual and theatrical ideas and explore design from different perspectives. The workshop aims to develop the ability to read, feel, and talk about clothing and accessories, creating a visual language for creation and performance.
