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* \nSign Up Today!\nThis workshop will be presented in English and is available in-person at Espace Louable\, 3524 Rue Saint-Jacques\, Montreal. \nPlease note that our upcoming workshop next Wednesday evening at Espace Louable\, 3524 Rue Saint-Jacques\, Montreal\, coincides with an STM strike.
