Fashion workshop

The HfK also offers workshops with professional and state-of-the-art equipment at the Design Faculty. The fashion workshop holds two large cutting tables; 15 industrial sowing machines; a number of sowing machines for special purposes such as working on elastic textiles or manufacturing shoes; as well as a number of machines for hand knitting. Patterns for these machines can be created by using punch cards or a computer program. Students can also realise their designs on a 6-thread embroidery machine working with a PE-Design 10 program. Rivets, eyelets and push buttons can be pressed into clothing, bags, shoes and other items with a drop spindle.
