Lost Arts: Pattern Making and Fit Engineering

Join veteran pattern-maker and couturier Reyburn Brown, in studio for an interactive virtual CoDesign Collaborative LIVE event.
Cut fabric for pattern making

As technology takes over our daily lives, many traditional methods of design are being discarded to cater to a fast-moving world. Elements of pattern-making training are also being tailored to fit these changing needs, but in doing so, will the industry lose certain methods of traditional craftsmanship and education?

Join veteran pattern-maker and couturier Reyburn Brown, in his studio for an interactive virtual CoDesign Collaborative LIVE event. This event will teach you the importance of pattern making from beginning to end. Create a production ready pattern, a custom pattern for yourself, and everything in between. You’ll learn the foundations of pattern creation as well as common manipulations to get the perfect fit and better understand why clothes are made to fit the way they do.

CoDesign Collaborative LIVE is a monthly event series for CoDesign Collaborative members. Each event begins with a way to wake up and engage your design mind, followed by conversations with leading designers, panel discussions, interviews, live streams, or workshops.
