Breaking Patterns®, Our Emancipatory Pedagogy
At MasterG, we democratise the art of pattern making to give women the tools for imagination that help them in redesigning their lives. By repeating our signature processes several times over the course, students practice critical thinking and problem solving as a method to approach garment making and their life decisions. Each student undergoes a journey of questioning the patterns of disparity and social conditioning that hold them back from realising their true potential and learn to lay claims on their life.
Each student who experiences breaking patterns, our Emancipatory Pedagogy enables themselves with the power to question existing patterns of learning and living.
Through our training, students learn different methods of approaching the same subject matter and challenge existing methods. This allows them to make variations of the said garment. Each student undergoes a journey of questioning the patterns of disparity and social conditioning that hold them back from realizing their true potential and lay claims on their life. When each student follows the industrial standard patterns as they learn the steps of design and construction, they are indoctrinated into the best practices and make re-imagining historical patterns a habit.
