YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Valeria Fic

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.

Today, over 1,200 students from 23 countries, 19 US regions — from California to South Africa, from Qatar to Australia — have learned through School of Couture.

Every course is filmed in close-up, every step explained from scratch. Whether you're brand new or returning after years away — you're in exactly the right place.

SCHOOL OF COUTURE

BY VALERIA FIC

 

Was established in 2018 as the first Haute Couture embroidery school in the Baltic States.

From the very beginning, our goal has been not only to preserve craftsmanship, but to grow a new generation of creators.

Our courses are designed for those who want to understand embroidery not only as a technique, but as a creative language - combining materials, textures, and ideas into something personal and unique.

STUDENTS RESULTS

From first stitch to couture pieces

“I didn't expect such intensive communication and genuine support. Of all the online courses I've purchased, this had the most engaged and high-quality interaction with students - it far exceeded my expectations. I had imagined it would be: 'here's how it's done, now you try.' But it's nothing like that. Haute couture embroidery - this is the most professional thing I've ever found in embroidery. Honestly, I can't even describe it in words. I just show people what I'm working on, or show my classmates' pieces, and the reaction is always the same: 'Wooooow.'” 

— Justina  |  Lithuania 

“I'd recommend these courses for the clarity, the precision, and the way even the smallest details are emphasized. This is pro-level teaching. Every step is not only shown in practice but also explained theoretically — so you understand the why, not just the how.” 

— Laura  |  Lithuania 

“I got even more than I came for — not just a wonderful teacher, but a genuinely warm person. There's no stress, no pressure. She could explain things to someone who has never held a needle in their life. The training is comprehensive, clearly structured, and offers support whenever you need it. Everything is built around one goal: that you truly learn.” 

— Greta  |  Lithuania

MONETISE YOUR DREAM!

Many creators face the same questions:
How do I turn my creativity into a real business?

How can I earn a living doing what I love?

We dream of creating freely and being paid for it — but the truth is, most creators never receive the income, recognition, or opportunities they deserve.

Not because they lack talent.
But because they lack a strategy.

It’s time to stop waiting for “someday.”

Your creativity has value. Your work deserves recognition.
With the right strategy, you can build a meaningful, profitable creative business — and enjoy the freedom that comes with it.
