CRAFT: The Architecture of Pattern Cutting

Description

This workshop explores the architecture of PATTERN CUTTING

What we create requires an intimate relationship with the body.

Sampling ‘On the body’ requires a knowledge of & adherence to, both established cutting methods & the development of new techniques.

We will discuss the origins of zero wast cutting, classic fitting ‘rules’, toiling, and experimental pattern cutting techniques.
