To be honest most of them probably go on doing something completely different. I´m not at a VET program, I don´t know the english word for it, but they read the same amount of math, swedish, english, etc, as the students on the social studies program for instance, so some of them probably just like fashion. I know that there have been students that have continued and mange to get in to the fashion/design program at the university in Borås. If they want to succeed in the fashion industry they do need more education. But you´re right the program is towards fashion and design and not into the textile industry, you wan´t get a job as a seememstress for instance. But I´ll ask my tutors how many that carries on with fashion and get back.
About the foto at pattern making: I´m thinking that you need to have a lot of creativity to bee good at that. How do textileducation teache or think about teaching creativity. Do you have expressed metods?
I don´t think you need to be that creative to be good at pattern making, you need to be logic and have an eye for shapes. But to answer your question, the students at fässberg have quite a lot of different courses in art to open their mind and give them inspiration. When they have textile they get projects which have to contain some specific elements, a pair of trousers for example with pockets etc, and besides the inspirational materials there is (books, magazines) they are supposed to use what they have learned in the other courses. In year 2 the do their own collection, which they have to present on a board that shows their inspirations and so one.
No we haven´t and the pattern making is a part of the tailoring course, they don´t read it separate. I suppose that´s because the program is more towards the design world and not the textile industry.
Do you teach the students to repair and look after the sewing machines? They look quite advanced, does it take a lot of technical kowlage to work with them?

ReplyDeleteWhat sort of jobs do your students work in when they finish their studies? Do they work in the fashion industry?
