We’ve deconstructed our popular in-person program and stitched it back togehter in an online format! We’ve added new and updated lessons in a variety of learning formats, more projects, and loads of exclusive online material and videos.
This clinic will take you from design to finished product with no experience necessary. There are four parts: two on Fashion Art and two on Garment Construction. You can take either topic first, and students who take all four will get an overview of the entire process while walking away with a strong foundation of skills. Whether you're a fashionista or want a career in fashion, this is the course for you!
