Join Jen Ballie, PhD Candidate with Chelsea College of Art and Design at the University of the Arts London, in London on August 26th and 27th for a workshop on co-design at V&A.

DRESS UP/DOWNload Workshop 

Sackler Centre Reception
Friday 18.30–19.30 & 20.00–21.30
Saturday 13.00–16.30

DRESS UP/DOWNload is an open source fashion concept, which invites you to be part of the design process: produce a series of prints using simple garments as a canvas. Designed and delivered by textile designer and Ph.D. student Jen Ballie, the co-design workshop allows you to create a design for a garment using collage techniques. Leave with a fashion illustration of your very own creation.

Before heading to the workshop, be sure to check out this slideshare by Ballie, presented in June: Co-everything: Defining co-design for fashion and textiles.
