He is beginning to conduct on-line classes, but recently concluded the
absolute-beginner's class, and doesn't plan to come back to it until
several other projects are cleared away. But the discussion of "The
Apron Project" is quite informative, and may give you ideas for
fiddling around on your own. You have to join the group to look at
the photos and files, but you can set "no mail" when joining and have
nothing but access to the Web site.

The course was based on the idea of using a wine bottle as a
simplified dress dummy: it lacks any confusing details, and you use
hardly any fabric dressing it.

In addition to being a good kindergarten-level learning tool, the wine
bottle turned out to be a good way to test ideas before incorporating
them into garment designs.
