Patternmaking Experimental And Explorative Approaches Part 1 Short Course

About this course

The course introduces unconventional approaches to patternmaking and the creation of three-dimensional shapes. Participants examine snapshots of different patternmaking techniques, then use tutor-led demonstrations as a basis for practical experimentation and skill development. The emphasis is on exploring alternative methods and making independent decisions about form and aesthetics, rather than following a single conventional pattern-cutting process.

What you'll learn

• Explore unconventional approaches to patternmaking
• Create and investigate different shapes through pattern-cutting techniques
• Practise techniques introduced through tutor-led demonstrations
• Develop patternmaking skills and aesthetic judgement through experimentation

Is this course right for you?

This course is intended for improvers with a basic understanding of pattern cutting. Some knowledge of patternmaking is useful, while the ability to use a sewing machine is essential to take part fully. Participants are expected to be willing to experiment and take risks with their approach.

• Basic pattern-cutting understanding is expected.
• Sewing-machine skills are essential.
• An experimental approach and willingness to take risks are important.
