Continuing Education

335 West 16th Street

Digital embroidery transforms handcrafted couture into a fine art medium. Just like a tattoo, where an image is created with color and needles, the embroidered fabric or paper is needle-stitched in colored threads. The image is a sewing file that can be saved and re-sewn as a multiple or repeat pattern. Working on Pfaff Creative Icon designer sewing machines with oversize hoops, students will use mySewnet software to sew out their original designs on fabric, garments, or paper. Techniques related to both fashion and the fine arts will be explored.
NOTE: The studio fee includes machine/lab access as well as expendables, such as thread and backings. This course is held on campus at SVA.
