Learn about the fashion industry, fashion design (from inspiration to mood boards to final design), fashion history – how clothing from the past influences what is fashionable now, fashion designers past and present, fabrics and fashion illustration.
This is an exciting, fun course that will inspire creativity and give children the opportunity to learn new skills and gain knowledge about the fashion industry.
For safeguarding purposes, each Zoom lesson includes a brief registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange an alternate method of registration for them.
