Welcome in 2012!

A new year is always a fantastic way to refresh existing skills or learning something new....
We added some new lingerie classes to our calender and made the booking options easier to follow.
We now do accept payments by 
cheques
+
 Please check our regularly updated blog for future classes
and 
we hope to see you all in 2012.



***
Here are just a few examples from previous master classes:
August/September 2011:
-lingerie nights-
-bra making weekend-


























 -How do I book a place?

Most of our classes are aimed at students with good sewing skills.
Lingerie-making is rather complex and you need to be confident using a domestic sewing machine.

We do accept cheques and the secure following options to secure a place:

If you wish to enroll in a class, please get in touch:

masterclass@corsetorium.com 


- Where do the lingerie master classes take place?


In a modern studio with natural daylight in Central London EC1.
(only a 5-10min walk from Farringdon Station)
 
-How big are the classes?


 Classes are kept deliberately small and are limited to a maximum of 6 Students only. 
We therefore advice on early bookings.
We always aim to run specific subjects aimed at individual student needs.
(please get in touch if there is anything you are particularly interested in and we can advice you which class might be suitable for you)

(One-to-one tuitions are available on request)



-Do I need to bring anything along?

All specialist materials and equipment will be provided. 
With your booking confirmation, you will be asked to bring along your own sewing kit and notebook.
(with advanced classes you might be asked to bring along some design ideas etc.)
We will provide light refreshments in our classes.



-Will I be able to wear my newly made lingerie myself?
 Professional lingerie patterns will be provided in one standard size.
Depending on your experience, our advanced classes offer students the opportunity to assemble items to their own size.
(this needs be discussed with the tutor previously)

In comparison to other lingerie workshops/classes, we do work in our classes with high end lingerie materials: pure silks,  fine lingerie laces & elastics etc.
By the end of the class each student should have a luxurious piece of lingerie made by themselves to take home or has achieved a stunning samples piece to showcase.

Thanks again for the weekend. I did expect to come away with something that faintly resembled a bra but surprised myself - and a few others with the results!

Please do let me know if you schedule an advanced class as I would like to know how to make them for my size - which is obv a bit bigger and would need a different style.....
