  • The Future Maker Workshop is part of the masterclass series hosted by Making Fashion Academy in the lead-up to the Northern Threads runway show in May 2026. Designed with emerging designers in mind, this workshop is a space for experimentation, self-expression, and bold ideas. Whether you're sewing your first piece, reworking something old, or just beginning to explore fashion as a creative outlet, this class will help you bring your vision to life.

    Led by experienced mentors, the workshop offers hands-on guidance and creative support tailored to your ideas, skill level, and personal style. Walk away with a one-of-a-kind look to refine or submit as part of your application for the Future Maker category of the Northern Threads runway show.
