- The chance to get creative and involved in a crafts-based workshop with multi-disciplinary artist and designer, Clara Chu. Join her for a unique up-cycling experience where you’ll transform discarded household and industrial items into stylish accessories by reimagining the concept of a bag.
- An insightful talk on the art of fashion design, led by three experienced tutors from Central Saint Martins: Charles Jeffrey, Stephanie Cooper, and Joshua Beaty. Drawing from our extensive experience teaching at one of the world's leading fashion schools, we will explore effective approaches to creative work.
