Advanced Classical Tutu Project
Current Format: 4 Days
This very intense course is designed to take you all the way from initial concept to a complete and fully-decorated stage-ready Classical tutu. You will choose one of our own special designs to construct. The class incorporates our 1-Day Bodice Construction seminar, and 3 days of Advanced Classical Tutu construction. | |

Claudia Says: "LISTEN UP PEOPLE! - 'cause This Is Important!" This is Very Much an 'Advanced' class, with VERY long hours. It's not 'play-time' - you must be motivated to WORK! There is a LOT of material to cover in a VERY short period of time, with a LOT of advanced stitching - you really need to know how to sew well. You absolutely CANNOT 'over-think' in this class - if you're the kind of person who needs to think slowly and carefully about what you're doing, then Don't Sign-Up For This Seminar! Think 'Project Runway'-style time constraints, but probably worse! BUT, you will learn a lot! And return to hearth and home with a fabulous costume! Tiaras/Headpieces: The class does not include Tiara or Headpiece instruction. BUT - please see the additional Tiara & Headpiece Options notes below for more information. Decorating:
The class does not include Decorating instruction.
Bodices:
If you prefer to substitute the 2-day Bodice Design, Patterning, and Construction seminar for the 1-Day Bodice Construction seminar,
there is a place on the Registration Form to note this.
Advanced Project Option #1 Choose One of Our "Easier" Designs Both the Snow Queen and Sugar Plum Fairy options are offered in several color variations - see the Additional Tutu and Bodice Details below for more info. We provide all the necessary fabric, patterns, trims, decorations, and complete instructions. Please Note: the tutus shown are 'examples' only, are shown fully-decorated, and were constructed with the colors and trims available at that time - YOUR finished tutu will certainly not be an exact match!
Advanced Project Option #2 Choose a Design on the "Wild Side" Our 'Half & Half' concepts are a lot of fun to design and create, and are very exciting on stage! Let your imagination run loose, and explore color-combination and bodice options. We provide all the necessary fabric, patterns, and complete instructions. Please Note: this Option is VERY individualized. You MUST call or email Claudia to discuss color, fabric, and design. Also, the tutus shown are 'examples' only - YOUR finished tutu will certainly be very different! And finally, this tutu is supposed to be FUN! Don't turn it into a design or construction chore.
Advanced Project Option #3 These are Much More Advanced Designs - You Must Pre-Qualify with Claudia ! This option is available to anyone who has taken our Classical Tutu Construction seminar before OR anyone who already knows how to make a professional-quality classical tutu. If you have not taken our 1st year class, then you will need to send us a tutu that you have constructed (we will take care of it and send it back to you), OR send us detailed photographs and a letter of recommendation from a ballet company Director or Costume Shop Head. We provide all the necessary fabric, patterns, trims, decorations, and complete instructions.
Additional Tutu and Bodice Details All Tutu and Bodice options include all the fabrics, our pattern for a 'standard' Tutu Panty, and your choice of any of our Bodice patterns (the 6-piece and 8-piece are easiest, the 10-piece, 12-piece, and 16-piece are more difficult and time-consuming). The 'White Swan', 'Black Swan', 'Firebird', 'Bluebird', and 'Spanish' Tutu and Bodice designs and options have pre-set colors and fabrics, and CANNOT be changed. The 'Spanish Style' Tutu and Bodice designs offer 2 very different options:
The 'Sugar Plum Fairy' and 'Snow Queen' Tutu and Bodice designs offer several color choices:
Tiara & Headpiece Options Although this class does not include Tiara or Headpiece instruction, you have a very wide variety of options to choose from! Our Jeweled Tiaras Seminar offers several options to help you complete your performance-ready costume with a matching 'blow-em-away!' Tiara. And for 2009, we've added even more designs, options, and levels to our Jeweled Tiaras Seminar! Regardless of the Tutu Project you're constructing, you can definitely find a Tiara design to suit your needs. You should spend some time looking over the Jeweled Tiaras Seminar Description page. For Charlotte students, if you prefer to create a more traditional headpiece for your Tutu Project, we've also made some changes to our Finishing Touches: Tutu Accessories mini-workshops, and you can probably find just what you're looking for. See the Finishing Touches: Tutu Embellishment & Accessories Seminar Description page for details. If you are staying, or registering for other Finishing Touches workshops (Charlotte students only), just register for the appropriate headpiece mini-workshop, or you can choose to construct your headpiece on one of the same evenings as the Jeweled Tiaras seminar (but please note this on your registration form!). If you're constructing a Half & Half tutu, your tiara and headpiece options are wide-ranging.
Look over the Jeweled Tiaras Seminar Description page,
and the Finishing Touches: Tutu Embellishment & Accessories Seminar Description page (Charlotte students only) for more details (or inspiration).
You can choose from any of the listed options, or call or email Claudia to discuss appropriate choices.
If you have something special in mind, you very definitely MUST discuss with Claudia.
Decorating Options We provide the appropriate decorations (EXCEPT for the Half & Half Tutu), and decorating your tutu is scheduled for the 4th day. BUT, depending on your skills and your chosen project, you MAY NOT be able to finish this part - there just may not be enough time. Regardless, we will make sure you know what to do to complete your tutu and bodice project! Special Offer for Charlotte students: if you stay for the Finishing Touches: Tutu Embellishment Workshop, we'll waive the registration fee, and you can finish your tutu in the workshop! Just register for the Finishing Touches: Tutu Embellishment Workshop, and select the 'taking the Advanced Tutu Project' option on the Registration Form (sorry, a copy of the 'Embellishment' book is not included in this special offer).
