If you want top-level tuition in the know-how and expertise behind professional window treatments, Morwenna offers workshops in professional curtain-making in London, for interior designers and decorators who want to master the trade, or people who just want to add an expert touch to decorating their own homes.

This is intensive tuition, either one-to-one or in a very small group, tailored to teach you exactly what you want to learn. Morwenna ran a busy London furnishings workshop for 15 years so you will achieve a great deal in a day, whether beginner or advanced. Curtain-making itself needs only very basic sewing abilities: it’s the knowledge and techniques that count. For example, you can learn how to make:

• Lined and interlined curtains
• Hand-made headings and simple taped headings
• Pelmets and valances
• Swags and tails
• Roman blinds
• Austrian, festoon and London blinds
• Drapes for beds

And of course, all the essentials of measuring up, designing window treatments that work, fabric calculations, cutting and pattern matching, and the final key to success - professional tracks and fitting.

You will take home samples, worksheets and lots of inside information on the sources of equipment and professional materials that you will need in the future.

Teaching takes place in Morwenna's studio workshop in North London and can be arranged at times to suit you - weekdays or weekends. A sandwich lunch is provided, and this and all materials are included in the cost, which is around £185 per day per person for one-to-one, with discounts for groups. Teaching is always tailor-made, so you are very welcome to email for a chat about your own requirements, and costings.
