3D Draping on The Stand Summer School Short Course
Course description
Course overview
This intensive 3D draping course concentrates on key elements from our '3D Draping on The Stand Introduction' course before moving on to cover advanced creative draping work. You will start by draping fabric onto a dressmaker stand/mannequin and learning the techniques to transfer these designs onto paper to make a pattern.
You will then move on to more advanced styling, transforming your concepts into different shapes and styles as well as making and sewing a final finished toile (test garment).
To aid your learning during the course, you will use the bestselling book 'Art of Fashion Draping' by Connie Amaden-Crawford, which includes step by step information and clear to understand diagrams for you to follow alongside the tutor's demonstrations.

This course is suitable for anyone interested in developing 3D draping skills, regardless of prior experience. Beginners are welcome, as are those looking to expand existing knowledge. Pattern cutting skills are not essential for this course.
