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. Under John's expert guidance, you'll acquire valuable skills that enable you to craft exquisite, bespoke corsets that reflect your unique personal style.

親測，逛博物館一定要購買講解服務。今天上午打卡大英博物館。幸運的是我英明的選擇了購買了更貴的高級講解。戴安娜老師的講解，全程生動有趣，且不乏專業性。不但告訴你看到了什麼，並能深入淺出的了解展品背後的歷史，讓你體會各個文化的特點，還能對比華夏文明的不同。戴安娜老師，像一位智者不但分享展品的故事，更展現英國特殊的人文感召力，以及一位親歷者的感受。其淵博的知識，北京人的文化底蘊。更是讓我們感受到情切，流連忘返。同行的團友分分決定補聽1小時。安娜老師還會分享最佳機位，讓你紅出朋友圈。
