Courses

The full time course is intensive, and will teach students how to make costumes from start to finish.

The part time course is designed to be a more flexible and cheaper alternative to the full time course, for those who may not have the time to commit to 12 full weeks.

Both courses focus on homing your costume making skills. They are 100% practical, with no pressure of essays or dissertations. Learn some of the best techniques and skills required to start your costume making career.
