Ready to take your crafting to the next level?

The Holiday Matsuri Cosplay Academy presented by CUT/SEW offers classes, demos, and lectures meant to improve your cosplay skills through hands-on making. The Cosplay Academy area includes three panel rooms for classes – one fully stocked with bernette sewing machines for sewing courses, one equipped with foam, heat guns, beads, cutting tools, and more for crafting workshops, and one stocked with wigs, scissors, and embroidery supplies for fine handiwork.

The Cosplay Academy also includes a panel room meant for free, open to the public lectures and demos from top cosplayers looking to impart their skills.

Each class includes all materials and supplies to complete a project and offers valuable insights and one-on-one time with experts in their field. All workshops include a small fee for materials and take-home projects, and class sizes are small so all attendees will get personalized, hands-on help. Most classes are beginner-friendly and all are welcome to join!
