Description

Sewing Dressmaking 2 Rochester Institute of Creative Arts (RICA)
This creative provision is being marketed as RICA (Rochester Institute of Creative Arts).
RICA is the name of the new creative offer from Medway Adult Education. This taught sewing dressmaking course is designed for learners who have completed a Level 2C course in sewing: dressmaking and wish to further develop their skills, confidence, and personal style whilst still learning within a structured art environment. While it builds on prior Level 2C study, new learners are welcome to join at their own discretion.
This sewing dressmaking class is taught by a professional tutor; the course provides tuition and guidance alongside opportunities for creative exploration and project-based learning in a supportive environment. Your tutor will discuss personal goals and project ideas with you in your first session so that you have a personalised approach to group learning.
Please note that this is not a drop-in course or an informal club; regular attendance and commitment to the course are expected to support progression.
Please do not buy any resources until you know your course will run.
