The North America Subtraction Cutting Tour 2010... in pictures and patterns:
Here are a small selection of the many prototype garments knocked out in a few hours flat by the highly talented students, designers and teachers who attended my Subtraction Cutting masterclasses in USA & Canada this summer 2010:
So now lets reverse backwards and look at each venue...
The tour reached the end of the road in Napa California USA, with a Subtraction Cutting Masterclass at the Napa Valley College, followed by a lovely 'Porch Party' hosted by my dear friend Sandy Ericson at the Center For Pattern Design.
After Vancouver we headed south to San Francisco USA for a few days down-time before the next gig...
After Toronto we headed west to Vancouver Canada to first give a Subtraction Cutting lecture to an audience of 150 at Kwantlen University, followed by a masterclass the next day with students, designers and staff.
After New York we headed north to Toronto Canada to give a Subtraction Cutting masterclass at Ryerson University.
Here is a great video documenting the event: http://publish.dvlabs.com/freevi/97162.mp4
