About Nehzat
The Sewing Workshop was created by Nehzat Houshan to share her love for creating and sewing. Her workshop is where inspiration and ideas flow through, enabling students to discover their talents.
Nehzat grew up in a family that has been working in the fields of art and fashion; giving her a flaming passion to create throughout her life. Having obtained a bachelor’s degree in fine arts – design and sculpture – in Italy, has given Nehzat the ability to fully understand the human figure when it comes to designing and creating attire.
From the young age of five sewing became Nehzat's loved hobby, when she started to create custom clothes for her dolls. At ten years old she began to sew her own garments with the help and guidance of her mother. Her passion for sewing remained throughout Nehzat's life until 1987 when it became her profession. She started sewing custom made Haute Couture for clients in Rome and then in Toronto where she setup her own studio. Now Nehzat wants to pass on her knowledge and experiences to other aspiring female students.
Nehzat’s background and many years experience in teaching will help you achieve your goals and realize your imagination. Nehzat will support you in creating unique garments and accessories.
