After spending several years in the fashion industry, from working in a high end ladies factory, to working for high end fashion boutiques, to working for private customers for weddings, matric dance, mother of the bride, special occasion, eveningwear, etc ,I discovered by chance that I LOVED teaching others. This allowed me explore new options and design a range of course’s suited to each skill level, from the beginner to the most advanced. I found that my students love it and it is so amazing to see the look of pride when they complete a project.
