New Atelier classes (individual one to one, or group class) prices and details


Here are special offer details of all classes for my open studio weekend on 5th, 6th, 7th September. See below: 

For all new one to one classes students, if you ' sign up' and pay in advance for 4 classes at the open weekend, you can have a 5th class free. So that would cost only £144 instead of £180 and that is for 10 hrs teaching (5 x 2 hr classes). 
For group students,  prices are much cheaper - 1/3rd cheaper than individual classes - at current rates, you would pay £24 for a 2 hr class instead of £36. As a little extra, anyone who signs up for group classes at the open weekend will receive a 10% discount for 4 classes. 

As ever, pattern paper, tea, coffee and water are all free as part of the class. 
You will enjoy top quality teaching but it will still be fun! Serious is not my style, and learning is better if it's fun :-)

For bespoke wedding dresses, I am offering a £100 refund on your deposit on completion of the dress, if you pay the deposit within a week of the first appointment. Deposits are usually 20% of the estimated final price, and the prices vary from £1300 upwards for a simple style with an average price of £1800 - £2000. Certain types of fabric ( lace, brocade, and lots of handwork  (embroidery, beading, applique, quilting) will increase the price. 

Look forward to seeing you!

New - Group classes in new bigger studio...

Hi Everyone,

In my new studio / fitting room, I now have a 'proper' sized pattern cutting table! This means that I can now accommodate small groups of 4 to 5 students at any one time. The result of this, is a cheaper alternative to one to one classes, a more relaxed and fun atmosphere, and a chance to interact with like minded people....

I am currently planning some 'courses' or themes for blocks of weeks, and would be VERY interested to know about any ideas / interests or desires you might have to do with pattern cutting and/or sewing techniques. 

The only skills you need to start are enthusiasm/interest/desire to learn or improve. You can be a total beginner and not even know how to use a sewing machine or a pattern, or you may have started projects in the past andgiven up when the going got tough! Maybe you have done courses in the past, even a degree, and want to refresh your knowledge, or have a desire to do something totally different using Japanese pattern cutting methods for 'fabric sculpture'..... 


I am a fully qualified teacher with lots of current and past experience, and if you haven't been for classes before, here's a link to my biography. (I am totally happy to send a CV as well on request).

Please phone 07941 619992 to discuss, or email me at the above address.

More details soon!
