The Instructor
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.

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.'”

Haute Couture Embroidery Course for Beginners
“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
Haute Couture Embroidery Course for Beginners | Advanced Haute Couture Embroidery Course Level II | Goldwork Embroidery Course
“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.”
