Participate in this interactive and engaging course to learn how to assemble professionally color-coordinated collections of fabrics, rugs, and decorative trimmings for interior design and home spaces. The curriculum introduces you to both natural and synthetic fibers and explores diverse textile construction methods, ranging from printed fabrics to intricately hand-knotted rugs and specialty weaves. Through hands-on experimentation and creative exploration, you will discover the art of skillfully mixing patterns, textures, and colors to establish a rich, harmonious interior environment that reflects your personal design aesthetic. The course teaches you how to select appropriate upholstery fabrics as well as suitable materials for drapery and window treatments. Throughout the program, students are encouraged to visit local industry showrooms and develop a personalized fabric scheme that reflects their own design vision and unique aesthetic preferences.
How do the LIVE VIA ZOOM online courses work?
Course Structure: Students interact directly with their instructor and fellow classmates during their regularly scheduled sessions via Zoom videoconference platform. Certain courses include assignments for students to complete between class sessions, which may include due dates that require active participation throughout the week. In some courses, final projects and visual presentations may be required as part of the overall assessment and evaluation.
Class Schedule: Please refer to the course description for the specific dates and times of your scheduled sessions and meeting times. Students must log into their Zoom meeting to attend their assigned session; however, you do not need your own Zoom account. Instructors frequently record course meetings, so if you know you will be unable to attend a particular session, please notify your instructor in advance so arrangements can be made.
Time Commitment: The amount of time you invest in your online course will vary based on the number and scope of assignments included in the specific course you are taking.
