CUT/SEW is back at ColossalCon North with the Cosplay Studio – a full weekend of hands-on workshops created to help cosplayers and makers build confidence, learn new techniques, and dive deeper into their craft.
From sewing and leatherworking to silk painting, resin and more, each class is designed around real, usable skills you can take back to your own projects. Whether you’re working on your first cosplay or refining advanced build techniques, the Cosplay Studio offers a welcoming, project-based environment where you can learn by making.
Every workshop is led by experienced artists and industry professionals, including Aissac.Cos, Aobittybaby, and Madison of CUT/SEW.. Each instructor brings expert-level knowledge, practical experience, and a passion for helping makers grow. Attendees will work with high-quality materials in a fully equipped classroom space and leave with a finished project they can feel proud of.
Pre-registration is required for all classes, and space is limited to keep each session small, hands-on, and personal. Grab your tickets early, bring your creativity, and come make something amazing with us at Colossalcon North.
