introducing

The Jean Bas
Masterclass

Fashion is a wild and wonderful industry that sometimes seems untouchable. But, fashion is also a verb—it is something we make, something we fashion into existence.
I’ve had the pleasure of fashioning garments for thousands of women for all kinds of moments in their lives. I’ve created looks for daywear, to work wear, to those incredible public talks in galleries and lecture halls, or those once-in-a-lifetime performances on stage. I’ve designed pieces for special wedding days, fun race days, and outrageous formals and balls.
Fashion has been the centre of my life—filling it with discovery, curiosity and creativity. After decades in the industry, I’m now finding the joy is also in sharing some of what I’ve learned along the way.

Alongside my head couturier and longtime collaborator, Lisa Turton, I am running Masterclasses in the Jean Bas Atelier on bustling Darby Street in Newcastle.

I share my techniques and a few trade secrets with you in our intimate classes. We like to keep the numbers small so we can really get to know one another and follow the conversations where they lead us.

Contact us to join the next Masterclass or to learn more. Our Masterclasses always fill quickly but we have a waiting list you can join so you don’t miss out.

We’ll be updating this page as the rest of the website grows and you can learn more on instagram as I post stories from the Atelier.
We can’t wait to start the creative
adventure with you.
