Classes

Learn a little. Try something. Make it yours.

Our daytime classes in Bolton, Greater Manchester, offer practical ways to explore your style, from choosing makeup to adjusting a favourite outfit. You don’t need experience or an expensive kit. Bring your questions and start where you are.

Makeup Without the Guesswork

Spend an unhurried afternoon getting familiar with brushes, product textures and a simple routine. The aim is a look you enjoy and techniques you can repeat, rather than a rule about how you should appear.

What we’ll cover:

• Understanding the purpose of a few everyday products.
• Exploring shades and finishes without buying everything at once.
• Building a simple base and adding definition.
• Cleaning tools and handling testers hygienically.
• Making time for questions and practice.

Bring: Your own makeup and brushes if you have them. Demo products and practice materials are available; shared products are handled with disposable applicators. Tell the facilitator about product sensitivities before taking part, and decline any product you’re unsure about.

Register your interest using the booking form and we’ll let you know as soon as bookings open. Registering doesn’t commit you to attending — it simply helps us understand demand and plan the class around the number of people interested.

Clothes Alteration Class

A small change can make a garment easier to wear, a better fit and confidence that you look good. Learn the basics of hand sewing and get confident using your home sewing machine. Discover which simple clothing alterations you can tackle yourself — and when it’s best to leave the job to a professional tailor.

What we’ll cover:

• Measuring and marking while discussing fit without judging bodies..
• A basic hem and the right stitch.
• Replacing a button or adding a different fastener.
• Making time for questions and practice.

Bring: One clean garment to discuss. Tools and practice fabric are included. Altering your own garment during the class depends on the task and available time.

The combined class also explores simple accessories, fabric choices and first steps in garment design / alteration.
