Fundamentals of Raw Clothing Construction (Nov 14-15th / 12-4pm)

This 8-hr accelerated workshop will offer thought provoking, hands-on learning experiences designed to teach not only the premise behind the concept of wholistic dress and lifestyle practices, but an introduction into raw clothing construction techniques without the use of a sewing machine as well. From concept to completion, you will learn the basic knowledge and skills required to create and re-create clothing for a lifetime from a wholistic, eco-friendly, and uniquely creative perspective. At the end of the workshop you will be equipped with enough knowledge and information to start manufacturing your own creation for yourself, your family or for sale.
