“I think the course was really interesting and it opened my eyes to the many different stages a designer has to go through to create their finishing piece. I also think I am more time wise, and I have learnt ten times more in this whole week of design and creation then I would at school. It was also fun seeing other people’s take on Aboriginal fashion. Overall I had a great time!.” – Fatouma, The Norwood School (Lambeth)

“I enjoyed the sewing and constructing because it helped me to be more comfortable and overcome the fear of getting it wrong.” – Oluwatsoni, Northbrook C of E School (Lewisham)

“I have learnt all about sewing techniques, styling, career options, designing and illustration. I really enjoyed the printing and the constructing of the shorts, both were new experiences. Everything on the course was really well prepared.” – Ophelie, St.Ursula’s Convent School (Greenwich)

“I really enjoyed making the bag. I think it is the best thing I’ve made in my life.” – Jade, La Retraite School (Lambeth)
