Course details
Do you dream of designing your own clothes? But not sure how to get started? This four-week fashion design and fashion drawing course will provide you with the skills you need.Introduction to fashion design (week 1)
Through practical exercises and focused discussions, you will research a theme and learn how to develop this into fashion designs.

- Creating research sheets and mood board
- Developing a colour palette
- Fabric awareness
- Exploring different art materials

Fashion drawing (week 2)
In the second week you explore drawing styles and techniques in the context of fashion. We will show you how to express your designs figuratively, and get your ideas on paper. You will learn to draw a fashion figure, deconstruct and sketch garments, and seamlessly combine figures with clothing. By the end of this week, you will know the ins and outs of drawing throughout the design process, and you will be able to communicate design ideas more freely and effectively, and begin a collection of work for your portfolio.
