Learn fashion through making — not theory.
What to Expect

Qi Yun Studio offers small-group, hands-on fashion workshops designed for people who want to understand fashion by actually making it — not just watching, scrolling, or theorizing.

Each workshop focuses on process, materials, and construction, guiding participants from concept to physical form within a limited, immersive time frame.

No prior fashion training is required unless specified

❋ What These Workshops Are

These are studio-based learning experiences, not lectures.

You will:

  • Work directly with fabrics, tools, and garments

  • Learn through guided making, observation, and correction

  • Understand why things are constructed the way they are — not just how

The emphasis is on thinking with your hands, a method rooted in atelier training and experiential learning.

“You don’t learn proportion, tension, or balance by looking at images.
You learn them by touching, cutting, and adjusting.”

❋ Who These Workshops Are For

These workshops are designed for:

  • Complete beginners curious about fashion and garment making

  • Creatives from other fields (art, architecture, design)

  • Fashion students seeking more tactile, studio-based practice

  • Individuals exploring whether fashion is something they want to pursue more seriously

You do not need:

  • A fashion degree

  • Prior sewing or draping experience

  • Expensive tools or materials

You do need:

  • Curiosity

  • Willingness to work with your hands

  • Comfort with learning through doing

❋ Workshop Structure & Topics

Workshop themes rotate and may include:

  • Introduction to Garment Construction

  • Draping Fundamentals

  • Fabric & Material Exploration

  • Concept-to-Object Exercises

  • Experimental Fashion Processes

Each workshop typically runs approximately 3 hours and is intentionally kept small to allow for individualized guidance and feedback.

Detailed information — including session focus, duration, and materials — is listed on each individual workshop page.

❋ About the Instructor

Qi Yun is a New York–based fashion designer and technical designer working across couture, performance apparel, and fashion–technology education.

Her background includes:

  • Formal fashion design training

  • Professional experience in technical design and garment construction

  • Teaching and mentoring in studio-based learning environments

Qi Yun Studio was founded to create a space where fashion education is accessible, tactile, and grounded in real making, rather than prestige or theory alone.

  • “I came in with no fashion background and was surprised by how approachable the process felt. The workshop was hands-on, focused, and never overwhelming.”

    Former Customer

  • “What stood out was the emphasis on process rather than outcome. I left with a clearer understanding of how garments are actually built.”

    Former Customer

  • “The small group setting made a big difference. It felt like working in a real studio rather than attending a class.”
