Join Susan Khalje and her Paris-based colleague, Julien Cristofoli, for classes in the classic French method of draping - the moulage.
Every year, when I take a group to Paris, one of the most anticipated and appreciated stops is a day spent at the atelier of Julien Cristofoli, master draper and patternmaker. It has long been a dream of mine to bring Julien to this country so that U.S.-based students can have access to this talents. Happily, that idea has become a reality, and in January of 2008, Julien and I will again present classes in San Francisco. One will consist of draping tops, the other of draping skirts.
Each class will begin with the application of woven tape (le bolduc) to the mannequin - these tapes act as reference points to the lines that are drawn on muslin. Design lines are then applied to the mannequin, and the draping process begins. It is a fascinating and effective approach, and Julien is a master of it.
In each of the classes, 4 designs will be draped (Julien will demonstrate and you will copy); then you will choose one design to construct using couture techniques (that part of the class will be supervised by Susan Khalje). There will also be a fabric-buying trip to the world-famous Britex Fabrics.
This is a unique opportunity - the authentic French art of the moulage, beautifully rendered and expertly taught by Julien Cristofoli. Please join us this January in San Francisco for a wonderful learning experience.
