“I love The Fashion School for so many reasons. The garments always look so well made and it is very professionally run with lovely tutors and equipment. The School is so well organised with lots of wonderful workshops and fashion trips. I’ve attended several other design classes, and none of them compare to The Fashion School.”

Our trial sewing classes enable your child to meet their tutor & class mates and get a feel of the class, before committing to the rest of the term.
​​
New students will learn to sew basic stitches on a sewing machine including running stitch, zigzag and backstitch. This sets them in good stead if they sign up for weekly classes to start pinning, cutting and sewing their own garment.
​
You will come away with a completed practise square, and for 1.5 hour lessons, a scrunchie or simple pair of shorts

"I've got an offer from London College of Fashion to do Menswear in September! I just wanted to thank you for everything because I wouldn't be where I am right now without you setting the foundations earlier on and helping nurture my talent and love for fashion. I remember LCF always being the dream even from that point, so thank you."

Children’s Contemporary Art Club at TFS for ages 7-11
Our art club is a fun and experimental space where children learn new techniques and skills inspired by famous artworks and artists. Our tutor Jodie, a practising artist with a professional background working in leading contemporary and modern art galleries aims to inspire children and unleash their inner creative.
Previous drawing skills not required, just a love of art and an open mind.
​
This term at TFS Contemporary Art Club we are studying Vincent Van Gogh. Our young artists will be painting their own sunflowers on canvas using artist's grade acrylic paints, creating starry nights with chalk pastels and designing their own bedrooms in the style of their chosen artist.
​
We believe the young mind absorbs more when the hands are busy so all this newly acquired knowledge soaks in sideways whilst the children are working in their personal hardback sketchbooks, building sculptures and installations, being their own performance art or painting on canvas.
All materials supplied by TFS, just bring an apron or old shirt.

What to expect from our sewing classes London
​
We believe in giving substance and sustainability awareness to each sewing project by encouraging open and enquiring creative minds in a structured environment. Each week we will give the children another aspect of fashion experience through an activity to give a solid base to their new found skill set. Please check the individual class details to see what they will be up to each week.
​
We will be working on sewing skills to improve the children’s technical ability, which will then be incorporated into personal projects.
​
Your child will have their own fashion work station with all equipment, machinery, chair, table etc sanitised before each class.
