Fashion Collection

Taking inspiration from a variety of past exhibitions at the Museum, students will work with experienced fashion and textile designer, Suki Bourne to design their own colourful collection.

In this 2-hour workshop, participants will create mood boards from a selection of images and use croquis to illustrate their final collection. Young designers will have the opportunity to develop their fashion creativity and understanding of how established designers work in the industry.

This is a beginner-level workshop, suitable for children aged 12-18.

Information for parents and guardians

Parents/guardians are advised to bring students to the Museum’s Front of House just before the session begins, where they will be signed in and escorted to the Fashion Studio to meet their tutor by a member of Museum staff. The workshop runs for two hours after which students will be escorted back to meet their parents/guardians in the Workroom. Please be aware, on arrival we require a guardian to provide an emergency contact number for participants under 16.
