Global Approaches to Pattern Cutting Lecture Series

Over the last few months, I have been developing a 'Global Approaches to Pattern Cutting' lecture series for the postgraduate course at Birmingham City University. This was the first lecture providing background knowledge of how pattern cutting process have evolved through history, from its humble origins in 300BCE to how it is developing into 3D scanning to improve fit, and where cutting methods may go in the future.

There will be 5 other lectures in the series exploring other global approaches to pattern cutting such as; hyperbollic tessalation (an ecological, zero-waste approach to cutting developed by Timo Rissanen and Holly McQuilan), Indian Saree development, Japanese cutting workshop and 2 sessions exploring African free-hand cutting.
