Make your own bespoke corset.

A new kind of workshop. Detailed. Technical. Crafted with care.

Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th May 2026

10:00 - 17:00

A two-day workshop for confident beginners and intermediate / advanced sewers.

Step into our Atelier and immerse yourself in the world of corsetry. Over two detailed sessions, you will create your own structured, boned corset from scratch using high-quality materials, expert instruction, and small group support. Perfect for confident beginners ready to elevate their skills or experienced sewers looking for a creative, structured project.

More than simply following steps, you’ll learn not only how to construct a corset, but why each stage matters. From fit and pattern preparation to support layers, boning and finishing techniques, this workshop will give you a strong foundation in the principles of corsetry and the confidence to apply them to future projects.

Working from an included corset pattern, you’ll create your own corset while learning how the design can be adapted to alter the neckline and length, allowing you to personalise the final look. Basic materials are provided, along with use of studio sewing machines and equipment, so you can focus fully on learning and making.

What you will achieve
- A deeper understanding of corset construction and fit
- Confidence working with specialist corsetry materials
- Experience using professional studio machines and equipment
- A completed corset to take home
- Transferable sewing skills you can use in future structured garments

Set in our peaceful textiles studio, this workshop offers a calm, creative environment and a truly bespoke learning experience. With only 4 places available, early booking is recommended.
