Fashion & Design workshop

The Fashion & Design Workshop is a great experience for all those interested in the Fashion industry. Create your own designer clothing and accessories and explore different styles, designers and learn hot tips used by world famous stylists.

The workshop leaders

Our Fashion tutor trained at the Kent Institute for Art & Design in Rochester, gaining a BTec National Diploma in Fashion Design & Clothing. She has worked as a stylist for pop bands as well as being involved in her own business selling her own unique creations to a select market. Her first-hand experience of seeing how it's easy-when-you-know-how, has made her keen to show others some of the skills she has learnt which has stocked her up with a wardrobe of stylish, unique clothing at a cost half that you would find on the high street!

This workshop

The Fashion & Design workshop covers a lot of scope on this glamorous industry. The Workshop is very practical and hands-on giving everyone the opportunity to "create", whilst at the same time offering helpful advice on design and how to wear today's fashion.

Participants can try T-shirt customizing, bring their own jeans to be re-worked, create accessories from scratch, use various fabrics and art materials, cut and slash, sew and paint - the list goes on, your imagination is your only limit! Our tutor will advise the group on Fashion do's and don'ts, different ways to wear things, advice on re-vamping your wardrobe at no-cost and will take the group through the latest up and coming fashion with use of magazines and resources. Our experienced tutor will help to bring your designs to life with her skills and knowledge and by working with templates to create fashion illustrations and designs. The workshop finishes with a fun catwalk modeling the clothes and accessories you've created.

As well as teaching and involving your group with a new fun skill, participants of this workshop go away with their own piece of work. This can be anything from a modified pair of jeans, a re-conditioned top to some funky accessories. Some students make gift ideas or plan to sell their work to family and friends. Fashion as a business venture is an idea that can be helped and explored on this workshop.
