Event Details

In the final episode of 101 Things I Learned in Fashion School, you will learn how you can incorporate other shops at the Generator into your designs! We will be joined by Generator's tool training instructor, Ethan, who will demonstrate how to create personalized labels, etch patterns in fabric, and cut out patterns using our Laser Cutter! You will have the opportunity to design, etch, and cut out your own clothing label from the laser to add to your finished pieces!


This final lesson is an opportunity to finish off your garments and ask any final questions to our team of instructors!

    Ethan Miller

    I grew up in Colchester and attended UVM for Business Administration. During that time I discovered the Generator and a love for making and designing. What I love most about making is finding where art and utility can combine into something greater than the sum of its parts. My current project is a sound system that integrates laser-cut art into its functional design. You can find me in the woodshop, on the laser cutters, and in the electronics lab making these speakers to sell at the BTV Market. I currently work as a CAD designer and Production Maker at Conant Metal & Light. When I'm not making at Conant or the Generator I love playing disc golf and board games, surfing, and doing anything that gets me in the water.
