Over the course of ten classes, students in the Art of Clothing course have designed, created, and hand-sewn their own garments from cotton, wool, silk, and linen. Come to Orchard House to admire their artistic handwork and the lovely apparel fashioned with the new skills they have acquired.
This part-time, four-year professional training for handwork teachers meets for two weeks each summer and one week each winter, covering two grades per year.
