Description

[Form] 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 garmentsโ€”as prompt, subject, or materialโ€” 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.
