This hands-on class explores the design and fabrication of textile based objects, from shirts to iPad cases. We step through the entire process, from choosing a project to designing a pattern to selecting materials and finally executing your vision. The course covers traditional approaches to sewing and fabrication as well as emerging methods including computational design and novel materials. Each class includes an introduction to the topic followed by a hands-on application. All levels of experience welcome, sample applications will be provided.
