BOOK >

How do clothing designers transform their ideas into realities? In this practical workshop, led by Turf studio member Theresa Dodzro, learn about pattern cutting tools and techniques. We will look at methods of measuring our bodies to get the best clothing fit, and will create our own patterns for making a skirt.

Sign up by Monday 23rd November to be sent a pack of materials you will need for the workshop. This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is necessary, as spaces are limited. It will take place online via Zoom. Once you have booked, you will be sent the link to join the workshop closer to the time.

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
