SLIM'S SUMMER WORKSHOPS

Aside from its regular lineup of summer fashion design workshops, Slim's Fashion and Arts School is introducing this year a Master Classseries of workshops that are helmed by industry professionals who are “masters” in their line of work.

The first Master Class is The Art of Embroidery, which will be taught by renowned beadwork artist Amir Sali, who has had decades of experience in Saudi Arabia and the Philippines. It is an introductory course designed to provide students with an understanding of the various tools and techniques needed in the trade.

There will be hands-on sessions where students can explore threadwork and beading techniques. The classes will run through 6 full day sessions from 9:00am to 12:00noon, and from 1:00pm to 4:00pm every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from April 15 to 24. The enrollment fee is P14,400 (including materials). Enrollment is currently ongoing, and it's best to hurry as there are only a few slots available.
