This year marks the 25th anniversary, since our Class of 1999 graduated from Håndarbejds-Seminariet / The College of Arts and craft in Odense, Denmark. Where did all the years went? See my previous post here.
Teachers and fellow students.
For me personally I was pursuing my dream of becoming an independent designer, creating made-to-measure garments.
During those years, we went through the process from idea to finished product through different projects.
It was three exciting and challenging years filled with creative projects,
cultural lessons, studying various subjects, pedagogy- and teaching theories, internships, study trips to Florence and London and yearly fashion shows. Good memories!
Previously I had been a teachers assistent at INDesign in Copenhagen and I really liked that. So for me it was perfect combination of subjects. See previous post here.
After graduation, I was persuing my dream and opened my own shop, after a very short internship in London.
I loved those years in Overgade 38, where customers would come in and order something special. During that time, I also had quite a few apprentices, to pass on my knowledge.
Three years on, I moved my business home to Jernbanegade and later to Kongensgade. Until I finally closed down, before moving to Canada in 2015.
-And what happened next, you can read about in my previous posts here on my blog.
Today Håndarbejds-Seminariet doesn't exist anymore. It transformed into Odense Designakademi.
Are you in the picture or from another year, comment and let me know what you think and tell me what you remember about that time.
In this post there is a few links in bold letters.
