Summer Session Classes
A System of Grading
The Summer Session of A System of Grading will kick off on June 20. This is 8 weeks of jammed-packed grading information. Like summer school, it is intense, hard, and over more quickly. ASOG is now on-demand learning. Course material releases on Mondays and Thursdays.
I will hold live weekly Labs to discuss materials beginning June 22, and for 9 Wednesdays at 3 pm PDT / 4 MDT / 5 CDT / 6 EDT. I can be flexible on Lab time once I have students signed up and needs are expressed. The live Labs are really crucial to being able to utilize the material going forward.

Fit in General
Body measurements, ease, darts and shaping, garment shapes, and fabric. Lots of things go into making things fit and not fit. We have arrived at a world in which generalization has made personal fit nearly impossible. Once you understand the things that impact fit, you can begin making small adjustments to create garments that fit. Two sessions + Lab. $100 before your Knit.Design.Edit.Sleep.Repeat. discount.

Spend 5 weeks learning how to make swatches that can tell you what you want to know. Explore fiber and stitch pattern, and how to get the gauge information you need.
