We have exciting news of a new workshop beginning soon here at The Beacon, lead by lady of the house, Judy.
Creative Cutting & Sewing
The Antithesis of Throw Away Fashion
In a recent conversation, Judy says “I love clothes; the act of taking a piece of fabric – something that is essentially flat – and rearranging it into a 3 dimensional, moving, tactile, wearable entity.
I have a history of fashion design from way back which includes an MA in Men’s Wear at the RCA, teaching part-time at St Martins (2nd yr BA), being a partner in Swanky Modes and then starting ‘Clothesline’ at the Beacon.
I am now restarting my own pattern cutting and sewing sessions in the big room at the Beacon, on Wednesdays beginning March 11th.
These are mainly for adults who wish to personalize their wardrobes from perhaps designing from scratch or copying a favourite garment, or maybe altering a charity shop find to their size.”
Starting on March 11th, sessions will run every Wednesday 9.30-12.30 and/or 2-5pm
£30 per session, £50 for whole day, booked on a monthly basis.
For further enquiries or to book your place please email judydewsbery@gmail.com
