HSC TEXTILES & DESIGN MENTORING CLASSES
Textiles & Design is one of the more challenging HSC subjects due to the magnitude of the major work component. You may be a standout when it comes to creativity and ambition, but if you lack the experience and sewing skills to complete your major work, your results won’t reflect your full potential.

We offer HSC mentoring evening classes on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and daytime classes on Saturday.
These sessions teach high school students the design and sewing skills required to complete their Major Work.
You'll receive expert tuition in pattern making, garment construction, illustration, the layout of mood boards and portfolio presentation.
Our instructors are experienced with the HSC curriculum and will be able to guide you in the context of how your work will be assessed.
If you’re contemplating a career in fashion, get a head start with our HSC tutoring program.
All skill levels are welcome and the course will be tailored to your own skill level and Major Work.
Students and parents are invited to visit our Sydney studio to discuss your requirements in person.
Please feel free to email or call us on 02 9449 1450 and we'd be happy to tailor a program for you.
We have a detailed understanding of the HSC curriculum and will guide you towards crafting standout pieces using the right design and sewing techniques. Our students regularly feature in the distinguished achievers list (including first in State), three have been included in the Texstyle Exhibition, and two at the Shape Exhibition at the Powerhouse. We also recommend our Textile Workshop, Couture Embroidery and Fashion Illustration Workshops for students in Years 8-12.

Years 8-12: the earlier the better
Students who are thinking of a career in fashion – and their parents – often ask us what is the best age to start their HSC Mentoring program. We would usually recommend that they enrol in Year 10, but based on our latest experiences with high school students, we can easily say that anytime from Year 8 is good.

Yes, several of our 1 and 2 day workshops provide excellent preparation.
