Couture Bead Masters is founded by Charlotte Appleby a British Couture dress designer, trained at London College of Fashion in Handcraft and Production tailoring. I initially worked within fashion, film and theatre before setting up my own business The English Tailoress. I always had a passion for couture beading and applied it to many of my eveningwear and bridal designs. I learnt the skill in 2007 through a workshop and became hooked on the ‘Luneville’ technique. This technique is practised in the couture houses in Paris today however its origin dates to the early 1800s.

I celebrate the traditional art of couture beading and share my experience with other designers, enthusiasts and companies worldwide. I set up Couture Bead Masters to maintain these artisanal skills within the industry to keep the traditional techniques alive.

Alongside my private commission work, I educate Internationally running workshops and courses teaching specialist skills executed in my work. I also provide specialist couture supplies and online resources sharing my knowledge and continued appreciation of couture beading and embellishment.

The teacher and materials provided were very good. We learnt a variety of techniques and gained enough confidence the complete the work at home. The venue was good, lots of room and light and parking out front. I'd recommend the course to anyone.

The location details provided for the class were not clear. Myself and two other attendees went to Gorman Arts Centre, Ainslie Avenue, Braddon. This was the information provided. However, the class was being conducted at Ainslie Arts Centre. This meant we missed 30 minutes of the class. The information also stated there was parking available at the venue. This was not the case as other classes were being undertaken at the same venue.
Information also stated that tea and coffee facilities were available, again this was misleading as the kitchen was for staff members only. Although I did get a hot beverage here it was clearly not for our use.
I did enjoy the class and the teacher was extremely good at explaining techniques. It was an enjoyable afternoon and I have purchased items so I can continue to enjoy doing this form of artwork.
