You also have the option to bring your own crockery (vase, plate, bowl, cup) and we can explore how to fix this the best way.

Be aware that this session time is based on a fairly simple style.  For any garment with layers, corset style or a jacket, coat etc, double the time will be required to complete.  Book the 3 hour session.
You will copy the garment on paper.  For the opportunity to make it in cloth book the 6 hour session.  Again if the garment is more complicated with layers, corset style or a jacket, coat etc; please book for 12+ hours.

Amy G

On Demand Gathered Lampshade Course with Kit

Hello and welcome.  My name is Claire and I own Couchman Bespoke an ethical tailoring company based in London, UK.

Learn to pattern make a basic block to fit your measurements.   This 2.5 hour session  will focus on making a paper block to confirm the size.  Depending on time left we may be able to add a sleeve block or trousers, you will need an extra hour at least.

This class is for all genders and ages.  A fit block is made to your base body shape for the type of garment you wish to make from it.  Choose from 1 to 1 or group class.

The fit block paper pattern can be manipulated into a shirt, dress or even a jacket for the more advance learner.  If you would like further tuition on this let me know and we can arrange the details.  Be aware that the more advance the garment the longer it will take to complete with tuition.  Bundle classes are available for 3 hours plus, under Make A Garment Bundle.

Learn to Pattern Make

Patricia Campbell

Inspired by Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, prosperity, and victory.

You will start by heating the wax, blending the essential oil, setting up the wick, and finish by pouring the wax into the mould and making your own Venus candle.

You will also learn about fragrance families and what top, heart, and base notes are, and the aromatherapy benefits of the New Romanic blend ( rose geranium, chamomile, and sandalwood)

All materials will be posted to you.  Materials include eco-soy wax, female torso candle mould ( worth £15 and can be reused many times), essential oil blend, and wick.

The Venus candle workshop is on video and lasts for 50 minutes.

All raw materials are cruelty-free, ethically sourced, eco-friendly, and 100% natural.

Happy candle-making!
