Get specific knowledge without an entire degree. This is huge for self taught creatives. Took the 2 week pattern making intensive and loved it! Small intimate class size. Teacher was patient, easy going and relaxed. I already had taught myself basic pattern making but was still intimidated and found pattern making a chore. This class was exactly what I needed to fill out my knowledge gaps and get comfortable with pattern making. We completed so many drafts within the 2 weeks and now when I make patterns at home, I am confident and actually enjoy it. Travelled from Texas to take the class and had so much fun exploring Vancouver and Canada for the first time. Definitely would take another course in the future.
