HOW SESSIONS WORK:
Individual Tuition
One-to-one sessions tailored around your current ability and what you want to learn.
Good for someone who:
wants focused technical support;
is developing a particular garment or skill;
is preparing a fashion portfolio;
needs additional support alongside formal fashion studies; or
wants to learn at their own pace.
Small-Group Sessions
Private sessions for a small group working at a similar level or towards a shared objective.
Online Consultation & Tuition
Selected design, portfolio, technical and pattern-development sessions can be conducted online by arrangement.
Because construction is inherently physical, some practical subjects will be better suited to in-person tuition.
