INTRODUCTORY COURSE IN TAILORING HAUTE COUTURE TECHNIQUES / ON-SITE
-
This course proposes an approximation to the specific methods used in the tailoring ateliers at the Balenciaga House. The sessions will include demonstrations of the maison sewing and ironing techniques; furthermore, aiming to convey these practical skills to the students, they will complete several exercises placing special emphasis on
working with wool fabric and on the steps required to produce a handmade collar and lapel.
ECOPRINT
This initiative will introduce the participating families to the eco-printing technique, a botanical printing method of producing textile designs taking their inspiration from nature. The families will create their own print, stamping the fabric with the colour, outline and texture of tinctorial materials including leaves, flowers, bark or stalks. Create your own unrepeatable piece, with an unpredictable result!
