Spring & Summer Camp Schedule


Spring 2012 High Heel Camps

Fashion Portfolio Building Workshop

Our focus in this session is on developing a portfolio to meet the Kwantlen Fashion Design and Technology Department entrance portfolio standards.

Bring whatever you currently have been developing for your portfolio—sewn garments, sketchbooks, design and art work, evidence of computer skills, evidence of knowledge of the fashion industry, reference letters, statement of interest and the like. Check the portfolio requirements listed. The more you bring, the more we can discuss your work.

During the session, we will be looking at everyone’s work and discussing ways to strengthen each person’s portfolio. The session will be informal and supportive. We will also have a chance to see other entrance portfolios from previous years and perhaps an exit portfolio or two.

Saturday, January 28
from 9:00am to 11:30am
An additional session may be offered (if needed)
from noon to 2:30pm

Room 2125, Richmond Campus,
8771 Lansdowne Road, Richmond, BC

This workshop is offered to first year Fashion Program applicants only.

To register contact S Lee at s.lee@kwantlen.ca and give your student number.
