Draping Courses

  • Technical and Creative Draping - 5 days

    Spread across three weekends, this 5-day course offers a comprehensive journey through both the technical and creative sides of draping. Ideal for beginners or those looking to refresh their skills, the course is structured to build your confidence in working directly on the stand — starting with technical foundations and gradually moving into creative exploration.

    You’ll begin by learning how to drape core garments with precision, understand balance and grain, and transfer your work into accurate paper patterns. Once grounded in the technical process, you’ll explore intuitive draping — using fabric as a design tool to create unique shapes, silhouettes, and ideas straight on the stand.

    This course is perfect for fashion students, beginners, designers, early professionals and creatives who want to strengthen their construction skills while also developing a more experimental, hands-on design process.

  • 2 Day Intensive Weekend - Technical

    This is a fast-paced, hands-on weekend course dedicated solely to the technical side of draping. Over two intensive days, you’ll build a solid foundation in the core principles of draping on the stand — from understanding grainlines and balance, to marking, truing, and transferring your drapes into precise paper patterns.

    Ideal for anyone who wants to strengthen their technical skills, this course strips things back to the essentials, helping you gain confidence in the structure and process behind every great garment. Whether you're new to draping or looking to sharpen your technique, this workshop will leave you with a practical skillset you can build on — creatively or professionally.

  • 2 Day Intensive Weekend - Creative Draping

    This weekend course is all about expression, experimentation, and unlocking your unique design language through draping. Building on the technical skills developed in the Technical Draping course, this class encourages you to push beyond structure and explore shape, silhouette, and movement directly on the stand.

    You’ll be guided through creative approaches to draping, from sculptural techniques to more intuitive forms of design — discovering how to use fabric as a starting point for concept development. Whether you’re a designer, maker, or fashion student, this course offers a space to play, take risks, and begin creating work that feels personal, unexpected, and alive.

    This is where draping moves from precision to possibility.
