This is where flat embroidery becomes sculpture. Layering sequins, beads, and thread to build real depth and dimension — the technique behind every piece you see in couture ateliers.

Three-dimensional embroidery with real depth and texture — not flat, not decorative, but sculptural
A complete iris flower motif, built step by step from sketch to finished appliqué
Professional-grade appliqués ready to be applied to garments and fashion pieces
Embroidery that works within contemporary fashion design — wearable, not just decorative
Couture-level finishing that holds its structure and stands up to professional use

Meet Valeria Fic

Founder, School of Couture - the first haute couture embroidery school in the Baltic States.

I have spent over 13 years with a needle in my hand - learning from the masters, competing on international stages, and teaching thousands of students to create work they never imagined possible.

My dresses have been worn at the Cannes Film Festival by French top model Audrey Bouette and actress Wilma Elles. At the Hand & Lock Prize in London - one of the most prestigious embroidery competitions in the world - I placed 2nd in the Fashion Open category. For Elle Lithuania, I have written interviews with leading creators in craft and design. And somewhere between teaching and competing, I wrote a book: The Business of Creative Arts.

But none of that is what keeps me at the embroidery frame every morning.

What keeps me here is the moment a student says: "I didn't think I could do this" - and then does it anyway. That is what School of Couture was built for. And that is exactly what this course will do for you.
