Not all Camp Couture workshops and classes are help in the Philadelphia area. I am also happy to travel to your location to teach workshops & classes on a wide variety of subjects, ranging from lectures on my personal experiences "Working in the Haute Couture" to advanced draping demonstrations like "Draping in Mid Air" or "Tension & Suspension Systems" to half day or multi-day hands-on workshops such as the "Brilliant Bias" or "Custom Busk-Front Back-Laced Corset".
A partial list of class offerings is listed below. If you are a college or sewing organization designing a fashion weekend for your group, you may select several of the half day workshops to put together on a single day and consider adding a PowerPoint lecture for the opening night of the weekend with cocktails or desserts & coffee to kick off the weekend in style and give your attendees a chance to show off their own skills by wearing their creations to the party/lecture.
For costs & travel arrangements, see below.

Costs & Travel Arrangements - Since 2003, my travel teaching price per day has been $1,000. This includes teaching a full six hour class with 1 hour lunch break and a 3 hour evening class or lecture/reception. 3 hour single classes scheduled alone on a day are billed at $500. All costs for travel (flights, car rentals or driving & hotel room booking or hosting) are paid by the hosting group. I am happy to be accomodated in a member's guest room to save your group hotel fees.
