My name is Petra Metzger. I am originally from the Black Forest in Germany. Beyond my professional background as a dressmaker, fashion designer and founder of EINE ltd,
I have developed my teaching practise over the last 10 years. Places and courses include
- Central Saint Martins: Short courses in design, styling, draping, portfolio and concept work
- London Arts Portfolio: Fashion, one to one and small group
- Norwich University: Fashion final year
- Central Saint Martins: Foundation in Art and Design, Fashion pathway
- Orbita, Centro-br Brazil: Postgraduate Fashion course
- Fashion Tuition: Private tuition
During this PG Cert I want to explore the question, ‘How do we teach in this time of change?’ How can we teach emotionally difficult facts kindly? How does kind and inclusive teaching look like and what methodologies give learners ownership over their learning experience?
My interest in teaching methodologies
- Joanna Macy – General systems theory and deep economy
- Paulo Freire – Pedagogy of the Oppressed
- Judy Chicago, Donald Woodman, Fassinger, Linda Forrest – feminist pedagogy, non-hierarchical teaching, inviting students on an inquiring and curious journey, building trust in the creative exploration
- bell hooks – Teaching in community
