Couture Hand Sewing: Make A Dress in Quarter Scale (Tuesday AM)

Each week you will build on developing your skills during live tutorials with Rowena. These sessions are complemented by specially commissioned videos, detailing the techniques needed to complete your dress. Using the Teams environment, you will have the opportunity to share your work for individual tutor feedback and with the rest of the class, In our ‘open studio’, you can ask for guidance, or get to know your classmates better. Each session is recorded so you can re-watch or catch up whenever you have the time.

What’s more, our weekly Spotlight Sessions, with speakers including Maryhill Museum Curator of Art, Steven L. Grafe and V&A Curator Connie Karol-Burks will give you an insight into the history and context of quarter-scale dressmaking and couture from the V&A’s magnificent collections and beyond.
