About Courses

Our Fashion courses are predominantly practical, requiring the students to have a more hands-on approach than a theoretical one. In the Fashion design course the students will learn how to get in touch with their creativity by designing different garments and pieces on paper using materials that will be provided. At the end of the course the student will also get to take home a portfolio of all their works. Whereas in the Tailoring course, students will first learn how to sew and stitch by hand and later with a sewing machine. Once learned, the students will have some projects to like making pouches and aprons, while eventually getting to make more complex things like entire outfits.

Both of these courses go hand in hand, and therefore are recommended to be taken at the same time. The reason behind this is because in the third quarter, you will be making in tailoring what you have designed in the fashion course.

For all of our art courses there is NO requirement of previous knowledge or experience. Each classes is taught in an environment that is friendly to beginners but also helps to further develop those skills of more experienced students.

NOTE: ALL COURSE CREDITS ARE IN QUARTER HOURS, WHICH 3 QUARTER HOURS TRANSLATES TO 1 SEMESTER HOUR
