This class will be focused on creating playful "wearables", this includes costumes, clothing, altering, puppets and more. We will look at historical and contemporary designers and artists who reconsider the boundaries of clothing and wearable sculpture. This class will emphasize and encourage the reusing of materials and students will be asked to bring in pre-loved fabric/clothes to reuse. Through playful creation and imagination, students will be taught the basics of sewing (hand and machine) and other alternative ways of attaching and combining materials.

Each student (age 14+) is required to have a current Proof of Vaccination Form on file with IS183. Please fill out and submit a form prior to the first day of your class.

CLASS MATERIALS

• A materials fee has been included in tuition and all materials for this class will be provided. Students are encouraged to bring in old fabric, clothes or other materials that they would be excited to re-use and alter.

You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
