Denim School: Maurice Malone Teaches a Jeans Making Workshop

If you’re ready to take denim design seriously, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

This fall, legendary denim designer Maurice Malone is launching a hands-on jeans-making workshop inside the working studio of Williamsburg Garment Company in Brooklyn. This unique denim school experience is being developed in collaboration with industry partners and offers a rare chance to learn how to make jeans at a professional level—right inside a real denim workspace.

The workshop will be held on Sunday evenings, starting on a date to be announced in October. While pricing and registration details are still being finalized, those interested can sign up now to be the first notified when enrollment opens.

This workshop is for those who are truly committed—fashion design students, up-and-coming brand founders, or experienced apparel professionals looking to deepen their understanding of denim. It’s not for hobbyists or home sewing enthusiasts.

If you’ve tried learning from YouTube or social media tutorials, you know the limits of self-teaching. This denim school is built for people who want real, in-studio learning. You’ll ask questions and get real-time answers, surrounded by the tools and expertise used in true denim production.

“This Denim Workshop is part of my quest to help build the next generation of great denim designers,” says Maurice Malone.

During the multi-week program, students will:

• Learn how to make jeans using industrial-grade equipment

• Understand seam construction, stitch types, and proper build order

• Watch skilled professionals construct a full pair of jeans from start to finish

• Learn the basics of pattern making and how to adjust fit

• Draft and sew a sample, make corrections, and complete a final pair of jeans

Students will leave with not only a finished, wearable pair of jeans—but also the working knowledge and confidence to create more on their own.

Enrollment will be limited to keep the class size intimate and hands-on. If you're ready to build real skill and gain factory-level insight, this is your chance.
