Draping Class Reviews

"...this class was very intellectually stimulating and constantly stretched my thinking. It was a completely new subject to me, as I had never had a single experience with draping previously. Professor Gentzel taught exceptionally well, especially to those of us with zero experience. The confidence I feel in my draping skills are entirely because of her."

"Professor Gentzel was the best professor I could have wished for this class. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, and there was never any doubt that she could answer any question I could ask about our draping assignments and more. She gave me the tools to work through draping issues that would arise, and ignited passion in her students."

"One-on-one feedback from the instructor helped me the most. I believe that encouragement was also important for me, although not as important as critique and feedback."

Patternmaking I Reviews

"It was fun to put what we learned from demos into our projects such as the shirt and the skirt. we got to use what we learned into practice."

"Learning how to make patterns to fit our own designs made me think outside of the box and use the skills that were taught in class to make my designs come to life."

"I think that talking through how to calculate the measurements and explaining in detail why you did something did contribute most of my learning because sometimes other instructors just do it and I don't understand why."
