Taught by our expert faculty our Pre-College program takes students from design to finished product with no prior experience necessary. In Fashion Sketching, students build, pose, and style their own fashion croquis figures to use in original design sketches. An introduction to visual design and theory helps students develop their ability to find inspiration, design a cohesive collection of garments, and render them in color using professional techniques. In Clothing Construction, students receive hands-on instruction in the garment making process from start to finish. Beginning with learning to safely use a sewing machine, students are then introduced to pattern drafting methods, textile science, and finishing techniques. Students complete the program with a mood board, fashion illustrations of their imagined capsule collection, and their own finished fashion garment constructed from a commercial pattern.
