Learn about designing for diversity, creating garments for a wide range of body types and personal styles.

Explore fashion illustration and pattern manipulation, bringing their original design ideas to life on paper and in fabric.

Learn a wide range of sewing techniques to confidently transform their fashion ideas into finished garments.

Experiment with fabric dyeing, painting, and embellishment to produce truly unique, expressive textiles.

Take part in excursions to local artists’ studios, where they’ll explore real-world textile and fabric art practices, including hands-on fabric dyeing and surface design techniques.

Participate in a sustainability-focused excursion, guided by a sustainability expert, to discover how fashion can be both beautiful and environmentally responsible.

Develop their confidence, creativity, and design identity while preparing for the Tasmanian Fashion Festival runway show. 

Engage in the model fitting day before the festival, where even though they won’t be modelling their own garments, they can make decisions on how their look is represented on the runway and gain first hand insight into the colourful chaos of backstage life at a real runway event.
