In close conjunction with the ROCvA (Amsterdam's regional education council) we will be starting a pilot of Jean School, the House of Denim's crafts education program.
Plans for the 10-week pilot programme will be developed in September; we will be posting the draft plans on slideshare. All industry experts are invited to contribute their ideas.
More information will be posted soon - as well as more news about the other three parts of House of Denim: the Lab, Archive and Network.

Hi James,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for providing us with all that information and passion about denim and the sustainibility of knowledge around it that you're trying to create through the Denim House project.
I would like to have more information on your program and registration conditions. I'm a bit confused as I I have no mail address to write you and have to write my enquiry here: but it's for denim's sake!
I've written to people who are trying to provide some learning programms around denim and Rinze Koopmans gave me your details.
What I wrote to him was the following and I would like to share it with you:
"Hello,
I would like to have more information about your programm: where does it take place? When? Who: what kind of people are going to lead the seminars? How much: Do you have a price bracket for this program? What are the conditions that I should fill to take it on?
Who am I?
I am a young worker who entered the denim world one year ago through an internship at Levi's Europe within the merchandising women's team. I have there got to know more the design, development processes of denim, costing and selling of it as well as styles and finishes.
I would love to continue learning more on the topic and become an expert of it.
I studied business management for 5 years and practiced painting, photography, guitar and sewing as hobbies.
Now I am convinced that I will continue working for the denim industry and would like to integrate a dynamic learning curve into my life.
Your program might be one ingredient of the latest.
I have enclosed my resume for more details on my professional experience.
Hope to hearing from you soon,
Anthea

A part of his answer of as follow:
"Dear Anthea,
I have to disappoint you.
For the time being I am so busy with other assignments that I had to reduce de Denim University activities to zero.
I will, time permitting, adjust my website.
Denim is a very interesting subject and I can only congratulate you with your interest.
I know, from talking to various people in the field, that young people with good insight in the technicalities and possibilities of “denim” are in short supply.
I could recommend you to contact “House of Denim”, which is a relatively new organization that organizes classes and workshops.
http://www.houseofdenimnl.blogspot.com/"
So here I am with the same questions and interests.
Can you help me on that?
If yes please feel free to reply either here or through my direct mail anthea.missy@gmail.com
With kind regards,
Anthea
