Zero Waste Fashion Masterclass - ONLINE

Zero Waste Fashion Masterclass - online 

Objective: To integrate zero waste pattern making, & marker making into the design process in order to create less fabric waste.

Method:

1. Choose a design sketch that you would like to make OR a finished pattern, marker or layplan that you would like to recreate with zero waste. Come prepared and save yourself time by minimising your patterns, markers and layplans to 10% size either by hand or by printing them off in a smaller scale. We can also minimise your pattern size in class.
2. We'll start with a visual introduction to the design processes of other zero waste designers. This will give you examples of some techniques that we can explore in class.
3. Working in pairs or as a designer/patternmaker alone create a zero or minimal waste marker for your chosen design.

Tools to bring:

Pens & pencils, Sketch books, Paper, Pattern making equipment - eg. Awl, pencil, ruler, setsquare, scissors

(If working on a computer) Lap top with your pattern making / marker making programmes. You will need Adobe illustrator or Inkscape for this task.
