Creating fashion and understanding the possibilities is the foundation for your career in fashion. Whether you are looking to build a future in fashion or wish to have a creative experience that embraces making a product for yourself or someone else, this one-week course inspires, embraces learning new skills, enables access to knowledge on customisation and you will be taught the key skill of how to use a sewing machine. You will discover the possibilities of design with bringing in one or more pieces of no longer used clothing. (This can be from your own wardrobe, or someone else's, if you have permission to cut, sew and customise it!) During the course you will be encouraged to be as creative as you wish. Your final piece will be a customised garment or accessory. You will have use of the domestic sewing machines, over lockers and an exclusive JCA customising station. Understanding the fundamentals of extending life cycles of products is a conscientious way to engage within the fashion arena. This course will be delivered in English.
