This two-week course explores the different ways to create the fashion designer's handbook - your personal fashion sketchbook. Creating a sketchbook is a chance for you to unlock your creative mind. It is a vehicle for you to challenge yourself, collect, record and process inspiration, try out ideas, explore success and failure, and to take risks. It is a place where nothing is precious. This course will help you source, research and develop your fashion ideas whilst being fun and exhilarating. There will be recommended visits venues incorporating London's shops, museums, street markets, buildings, galleries and gardens as points of resource. A host of different techniques and media will be demonstrated at the start of each day so that students can explore different types of drawing skills. At the end of the course the outcome will be a big fat sketchbook filled with ideas, potential fashion collections and new confidence to feed the imagination and develop proposals.
