Creative Textiles - Techniques and Experimentation
course price icon
Von 49.19 $ /Std

Learn to express yourself through textiles, a diverse and mindful craft.

I offer classes that explore abstract expression in embroidery, beadwork, embellishments, and patchwork.

We look at the history of folk art and craft as a source of inspiration to create personal textile artworks. In the past, students have made stuffed toys, quilts, wall hanging, clothing and samplers.

All materials will be provided, including vintage fabrics, trimmings, embellishments, threads and tools.

Über mich
I am a textile artist who loves to share diverse techniques to empower people to create their own, highly personal textile artworks.

For many years I worked at the V&A as a photographer and catalogue of objects in the Fashion and Textiles department. Here, I developed my knowledge of folk art collections across the world and started to make my own artwork based on these techniques.

I am passionate about colour, texture and creative expression through the medium of textiles and offer exciting lessons suited to anyone with an interest in developing their creative voice and learning textile techniques.

I pride myself on making my lessons accessible and welcoming, bringing enthusiasm and passion to each session.

Johannes
Lesson Overview

Who: Johannes – Brand owner and Central Saint Martins graduate with experience in celebrity dressing and industry experience in luxury couture houses

Techniques & methodology: Practice-led, studio-based teaching combining draping on the body, pattern making, sewing, and portfolio development, tailored to individual goals

Lesson length: Typically 90 minutes, allowing time for hands-on making, discussion, and feedback

Who the lessons are for: Students aged 16+, including foundation, BA, and MA applicants, as well as early-career designers seeking portfolio refinement or industry insight

Languages: English and German

Focus: University applications, professional portfolios, technical development, and understanding industry expectations

I am the founder of the fashion brand Johannes and an actively practising designer, bringing an industry-focused approach to teaching. I support students in developing strong, competitive portfolios for university applications and professional roles, with clear guidance on concept development, editing, and presentation aligned with current academic and industry expectations.

My professional work includes designing and dressing international artists such as Björk, Lady Gaga, Grimes, Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Rina Sawayama, and Post Malone for performances, editorials, and public appearances. This experience gives students direct insight into professional standards, timelines, and the realities of working under pressure within the fashion industry. My technical foundation is shaped by experience in couture and luxury fashion environments including Viktor&Rolf, Givenchy, Balmain, and bespoke tailoring ateliers.

My teaching covers draping, pattern making, sewing, and hand-based construction techniques, with a strong focus on fit, proportion, and translating ideas into technically resolved garments. I offer targeted guidance on what universities are looking for at foundation, BA, and MA level: from creative curiosity and process at foundation stage, to technical skill, concept development, and visual clarity at BA level, through to research depth, authorship, and critical positioning at MA level. I work closely with students to ensure their portfolios clearly communicate both creative identity and readiness for academic or professional progression. I am fluent in German and, with formal training in painting, can also support students in developing visual research, composition, and fine art–led portfolio work where relevant.
