Short Courses and Masterclasses:
Many studios and factories have moved away from manual pattern cutting to incorporate a streamlined digital systems and the likes of EFI Optitex and Gerber are leading the way. We regularly run short courses in these disiplines that range from one to three days. Time to gain those skills that today’s employers require. Additionally we host one-day beginner stitching and making workshops as well as personal development skills with our resident life and business coach.
