Description
[Prerequisite: FIBR/FIBRE 264, FIBR/FIBRE 350, or FIBR/FIBRE 353, or Chair approval.] This is a course that focuses specifically on garment design and construction, and includes studio-based inquiries into material re-use and the development of experimental garment forms. This course is intended for both intermediate and advanced students who are interested in using garments—as prompt, subject, or material— in their work. Students will learn advanced draping techniques, to read and employ commercially available patterns, and to construct and finish garments that are functionally driven as well as conceptually driven.
