About This Activity
Welcome to the most innovative summer camp you’ll ever experience, taught by local creatives Jess Goehner (fashion designer and owner of Directive) and Sherród Faulks (ceramic designer and owner of DEEP BLACK). Couture Camp combines ceramics and fashion design in totally new ways. We’ll begin the week with an introduction to basic concepts such as sketching, couture concepts, and idea generation. Then you’ll learn fundamental techniques in both clay and fibers, key to expressing your unique style. You’ll work to make your very own avant-garde accessories from conception to creation to assembly, which you’ll pair with a stunning one-of-a-kind garment of your own design. Each day will include enthusiastic group discussion, personalized feedback and focused work time in the studio. The week culminates in a photoshoot for documentation followed by a fabulous fashion show in which you’ll strut your stuff for your campmates and parents. No previous experience with clay or sewing is required and we encourage you to bring a favorite garment to modify. If you’re interested in fashion, thrive in creative fast-paced but supportive, inclusive, and diverse classes, and enjoy making exciting new things, this camp is for you.
