"If we had known science can be about fashion, we would have listened more at school" - quote from a year 10 pupil after one of our Science&Fashion workshops.

Do you want to design repeating patterns that don't ever repeat? Are you dying to understand dyes?

We will show you how science and maths show up in fashion, from the shimmering of a butterfly's wing to helping pick up threads & fluff with a balloon. You will gain a whole new view of your outfits and style, and be able to design and make some…

What is included?

We are working with high quality industry waste materials kindly donated to us by leading fashion houses such as Ted Baker, Orlebar Brown, Anya Hindmarch, Marks & Spencer, Closet London, Eponine London etc. Students are also encouraged to deconstruct, redesign, alter and mend their existing clothes and accessories.

What will I learn?

- To use the sewing machine - Clothes and pattern making - Design skills with a purpose - Understand lifecycle of things - Hands-on life skills - Our approach follows the UNESCO adopted pedagogy “Education for Sustainable Development’. Students are encouraged to express a wide variety of issues such as identity, inclusivity, gender, heritage, love, peace and beauty in their creative work.

Are there any concessions or offers?

We are reserving a limited number of bursary places for students in special circumstances. If you think you might be eligible to apply we require written proof (e.g. a letter from your child’s school explaining your case, universal credit docs etc) - We do NOT offer siblings discounts unless they fit in the above category. - Do you want to become a sponsor for a local child to be able to attend our classes? If you want to support any aspect of our charitable work, please contact us at info@littlehandsdesign.com

Does it matter if I don’t have any sewing experience?

All ages and abilities are welcome! We gauge every student's skills and abilities at the beginning to be able to recommend the right level for each individual.

Both my daughters (8 and 10) joined the Easter fashion lab. They absolutely loved it. I couldn’t believe the quality of the clothes they made. They learnt so many new skills and left with a clear understanding of issues around environmental impact and clothes production. Astrid and the other teachers managed the age ranges so well- it was lovely to see the children of all ages working together and helping each other out.

Ca Hepker - 11 April 2023

We love Little Hands Design. Small group of children, really creative, a focus on making, recycling and reusing. My 10 year old loved it! She came back with a hand made waistcoat and lots of other really cool items. Seemed a good balance of working on a design, Lear inf some sewing techniques and producing a finished result. It really occupied and inspired her. Wonderful, highly recommended course.
