Through conceptual collections\, exhibitions\, and happenings\, this creative House pushes the boundaries of garment presentation. From performance to art installations\, the designer\, Cassandre Brillant\, uses unconventional materials such as silicone and plaster and dissects the garment through various techniques.  \n As the youngest of an artist family\, Cassandre awakened to the world of creation by observing her father’s sculptures and growing up surrounded by art in her mother’s gallery. Artistic expression played a significant role in shaping her identity. It is through this influence that the designer came to interpret clothing as a textile sculpture that encompasses the body\, transforming it into an object of art.  \nPre-registration is required. \nTransform your art business today and sign up for only $20.00* \nReserve your spot\nThis workshop will be presented in English and is available in-person at Espace Louable\, 3550 Rue Saint-Jacques\, Montréal\, QC H4C 3P1 \n*This low registration fee is only possible thanks to our generous funders and partners.
