IDEA Fashion Print Design Summer Boot Camp

IDEA Fashion Print Design Summer Boot Camp is a 10-day (two-week) immersive design programme in London for emerging creatives aged 16+. Delivered in-person at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, the camp focuses on print design, fashion, textiles and related creative practice, and is led by designers and tutors from institutions including the Royal College of Art (RCA), University of the Arts London (UAL), UCL, De Montfort University and the University of Cambridge.

The programme is studio-led and hands-on, combining physical and digital processes (including Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator) with individual feedback and mentoring. Participants work on portfolio-ready projects, develop research and presentation skills, and are supported to build a cohesive body of work and a clear creative voice suitable for university or professional applications.

Who this is for: students preparing portfolios for fashion, textile or design courses, applicants aiming for institutions such as Central Saint Martins or London College of Fashion, and emerging creatives seeking a focused, flexible studio environment. The schedule runs weekdays with a focus on process over perfection and inclusive access for varied learning styles.
