Course details

Do your children come home wanting costumes for World Book Day, Halloween parties or other school and community events? Or maybe you’re a grandparent, aunt, uncle or friend who gets a last minute call to create a costume. If so then you might enjoy this free try course. Together with your child you will learn some new ideas and basic craft techniques to upcycle an existing garment and turn it into your own, inexpensive and original costume that can be created in a flash!

What are you doing to keep learners safe?

The safety of our learners and staff is our top priority and we’ve made some big changes to our centres, from socially-distanced training rooms to staggered start times. Although things will look different, our staff will be as friendly and helpful as ever and we’re really excited to welcome learners back.

If you’re concerned about visiting one of our centres, please get in touch so we can discuss it with you.

What do I need to join the course?

What do I need to bring with me to the first session?

You should bring an old t-shirt, shirt or other garment you no longer need to use as the basis for your costume. Please come along with some ideas of what you would like to make.

How will I be taught?
