    Short Course in Fashion and TextilesRawalpindi Institute of Art and Design
     - Rawalpindi, Pakistan
    During my gap year, I went to Pakistan and took up a short course in traditional fashion and textiles. I learned skills such as hand embroidery, different printing techniques and dyeing processes and pattern cutting techniques used specifically in Pakistani clothing. This course really helped me find my creative voice. I continually use the techniques I learned in this course in my practice, as an addition to the skills I honed from my degree.
