Students were guided through the process of creating their own vision of a figure. By analyzing all the elements required and moving on to the drafting of a proportional pattern, machine sewing, stuffing, needle sculpting, wiring and addressing face painting, hair, costuming and staging, they learned how to take their vision all the way to reality.
