At Christmas time, when the world seems to be buying more, why not take the opportunity to create something new from something old.

Let’s get serious about fashion through either experimental design or simply sewing something for yourself.

Fashion design is the art of applying design, aesthetics and natural beauty to clothing and its accessories. It is influenced by cultural and social attitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklaces. Because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, designers must at times anticipate changes to consumer tastes.
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." Coco Chanel

A creative workshop, where artists will work together to create a large-scale painting. Without one another, the final product would not make sense; teamwork is key. The group will take inspiration from a named artist to produce the final piece; a critical study and collaboration (key skills taught in Fine Art).

“I like the idea of collaboration - it pushes you. It's a richer experience...” (Frank Gehry)

An informative workshop, where artists will be introduced to Life Drawing. Artists will begin to learn how to use perspective, proportions and shading to portray the human form. Life drawing is an essential skill for any budding artist, and can be done anywhere; on the train, sat in the park etc.

"It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover, to your surprise, that you have rendered something in its true character." (Camille Pissarro)

A technical workshop, where artists will begin to learn how to use and create perspective. Perspective is the art of representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Unknown.

A creative workshop, where artists will be given the opportunity to express themselves through mixed media. A “jam-packed” course, filled with methods on how best to combine different mediums. Techniques will provide artists with a fresh perspective on how to “paint”.

Through a combination of years experience and listening to our students feedback, we've extended our course to include more highlights and opportunities for our 14-19 year old students to get to know their fashion family. In addition, there's a larger focus on experimental design and pattern cutting whilst building their fabric knowledge. Students will be given a comprehensive view of the fashion industry through exclusive trips, tours, talks from industry experts and masterclasses. To find out more, please visit our website.
