01Fourteen courses in fashion, design and hospitality — taught by the people who still make the work.
From January 2027, The Teaching Students runs a full programme of masterclasses and trainingen across three disciplines. Every course is led by an industry professional with years behind the bench, the machine or the service floor.
The masterclasses are built for people already working, who want a specific technique taken further. The trainingen start from the beginning — pattern making, moulage, sewing, hospitality — and take a starter to a working standard.
