By the end of the 6 lessons students should be: - Have improved confident in their fashion drawing skills, - Be able to research a theme and take inspiration from it for designing. - Have designed a fashion collection inspired by a theme. -Understand how to use a design process similar to that of a fashion designer.

Hello, my name is Hetty and I am a teacher living in the Cotswolds, picturesque countryside in the United Kingdom.
I am a fully qualified secondary school teacher of sewing, art and photography, I have been teaching 11 to 18 year olds in person since 2009 and I have recently decided to teach online and make educational resources full time.
I am looking forward to teaching creative skills and passing on knowledge to students from all over the world.
I will be teaching various lessons to a range of abilities – Sewing, Textiles, Photography, Art, Crafting and Fashion Illustration.
In my classes, I will aim to safely teach students creative techniques so that they can use these skills to be experimental and independent in their own creations. I believe that as a teacher I am here to show you the starting point so that you can use these skills to create from your own imagination.
I love learning new skills and teaching them to others and I look forward to welcoming you to my classes.
I am very flexible on schedule so if you are interested in a class but it doesn't fit your school day just message me.Reviews
