Join us for an exciting two-day workshop focused on the art of corset making! This hands-on experience will provide you with a basic bodice block, setting the foundation for your creativity. Throughout the workshop, you'll take a step-by-step journey, gaining a clear understanding of the corset-making process, ensuring that every participant fully comprehends each technique involved.
You'll start by mastering the crucial skill of taking accurate measurements—whether for yourself or a fellow participant—laying the groundwork for your unique designs. With your measurements ready, you’ll dive into the thrilling world of corset creation, transforming the pre-made block into stunning, personalised pieces.
The course will be led by acclaimed designer John Herrera, a tutor at FCFTA. John first showcased his collection at the International Fashion Showcase during London Fashion Week in February 2015, an event organised by the British Fashion Council. Since then, he has exhibited in Tokyo and London with Fashion Scout, and recently made headlines at Paris Fashion Week with his debut collection. His AW25 collection, titled “Femme à la Mode,” has received features in Tatler and has been warmly embraced by fashion enthusiasts.
Join us for this workshop over two consecutive Saturdays, where John will guide you through the essentials of corset making. Whether you've always wanted to learn this craft or have tried making corsets in the past, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
