In the classical 3-dimensional pattern making or Japanese Draping the pattern is molded on the tailors dressform with calico/mouseline. This method is a sensual and intuitive alternative to the two-dimensional intersections of cut pattern making on the table or computer. It offers a direct recognition of the individual development steps of the pattern.
In this JAPANESE DRAPING full program workshop you will learn to create complex patterns on the dress form.

“Christine Mayer’s most recent collections has been made entirely from recycled fabric with a lot of love. As she puts it, she wants her clothes to ‘embrace the people who wear them’. What we appear to have lost over time is the attachment to and love for our clothing, and through her work Mayer reminds us of the great tenacity of this connection. Christine Mayer is teaching the art of garment upcycling; the creative reuse of worn and used fabrics. She gives people the opportunity and skills to work with old and loved fabrics and to re-imagine them as brand new garments.” Polly Leonard, Selvedge Magazine
Workshop leader: Christine Mayer
Berlin-based fashion designer Christine Mayer has built a fashion career on re-purposing clothing and breathing new life into old garments. She is a pioneer of three-dimensional free draping with fabric, an art form she has adapted and developed from her studies in classical Japanese drapery.When it comes to clothing design, Christine’s style is recognisable for its collage aesthetics; where pattern and fabric constantly interrupt each other’s spaces. “Material that has been marked by life” is one of Christine’s biggest inspiration.The aim in Christine’s teachings is to learn and experience a new way of dealing with fabrics. It’s about a conscious opening that moves away from the two-dimensional space, towards a unique three-dimensionality.
Christine is also trained in Salubrious Work and meditation. She teaches students and teachers at international fashion colleges and leads creative retreats and workshops in United States, France, UK, Switzerland, Austria and Germany.
