About

Fashion reflects the influence of politics, trade, social exchange and foreign encounter. In this course, we will explore the changing fashions of 17th century Britain. We will consider the history of fashion with practical, hands-on sessions that explore the materials used, and construction techniques employed by makers of the period. By the end of the day you will have a first-hand understanding of how, and with what, clothing of the 17th century was made. Learners will come away with a folder of textile samples, weaving cards, and a piece that they have worked on.
