The course includes a specially designed educational day out in London that feeds into your course work back in the studio.

PLUS - The last Friday afternoon of the course will include a display of your finished design ideas, illustrations and sketchbook, with feedback from your tutor on how to use the work within your portfolios. Parents, family and friends are all invited to attend.

Now in its 7th Year, this popular course is ideal if you are considering fashion or textiles as a future career, or if you wish to try something new and have a passion for fashion and the fashion industry. Upon completion you will have new skills to help you continue designing your own collections, illustrating, documenting your research and thought processes, putting together marketing boards and more. You will explore the process very much in the spirit of Central Saint Martins, where your own personal and explorative approach will be celebrated.

This promises to be an exciting and unique experience for any 16-18 year-old who is:

• Interested in developing their own creativity
• Building a portfolio for future studies
• Confident in learning from their mistakes
• Keen to work with students of different nationalities
• Willing to work and collaborate with others during projects.
