Travis packs a LOT of information in his teaching classes. When watching a recording, I don't ever get all the info I need the first time I watch.

I learned more in five days than in an entire one credit construction class at a university. Very fun and welcoming environment!

Travis is a talented artist and a consummate professional. He's also an amazingly gifted teach who is always willing to share his unique tips and tricks. Whether you are just learning to sew or think you know all the answers, Travis can teach you a quicker, cleaner, better and/or more creative way to do things. From sewing a pillowcase to outfitting a dance company, he is the best person to learn from. Wish I lived closer to Chicago, but it's always worth the trip to take a class. His webinars are also some of the best instruction on the internet.

Whether you are experienced sewing costumes for dance or stage or a novice seamstress, this training will leave you satisfied! The quality of his teaching and his wealth of knowledge are second to none and he generously shares it with all his students! There is no question that he will not know the answer to and no question that goes unexplained, even if the class was taken a while ago! Every cent spent in training with him is worth gold; you will not find a better deal!

The knowledge that is so generously shared - no small but vital parts left out - and the ability to explain the same thing numerous ways to numerous people so that no-one is left behind. Every aspect demonstrated clearly and without unnecessary jargon, which is fabulous. Travis and his team answer each and every question with expert knowledge and without judgement - no matter what level you are at - so that you can't fail to gain new skills every time you take one of his courses/webinars.

Travis clearly loves to teach, and has a wide background of experience to draw from. His classes are fun to participate in, but hard work at the same time. The amount of knowledge you will gain in one class is worth every penny.

I enjoy seeing the glimpses into Travis’ creative mind. He takes the time to explain the hows and whys behind his creative decisions as well as the technical directions. The quality of my costume work has greatly improved following his classes. Travis and team are also willing to answer all types of questions from various skill levels and sewing backgrounds. He always covers more material than expected in his classes.

Everything! The one on one learning, the hands on experience, the professional advice, meeting other people in the industry and who are excited to learn, I can’t say enough! Travis is so experienced, versatile, and knowledgeable and is so generous with sharing that knowledge. He breaks it down to the basics to make it simple, but he also encourages us to challenge ourselves and to look outside the box. A brilliant mind and a brilliant teacher! Thank you Travis for so many fabulous seminars; I look forward to more in the future!

Halsey Onstage doesn't hold back knowledge as some industry educators do. Each learning session was packed with great information and you always walk away with renewed inspiration, a fresh perspective and a wealth of knowledge.

Travis and his staff are always so very generous with their knowledge. He has this unique way of knowing everyone’s skill level as well as their potential and will push you to increase your abilities in a direction that you never though was possible. If I had a choice I would be in a class at Halsey Onstage every day. His costume shop is truly a magical place filled with adventure, knowledge, hard work and fun.

Travis has a relaxed, fun teaching style and explains everything clearly. He also shares hints and tips that he has developed throughout his career. His methods have totally transformed the way I make tutus. Thank you Travis.

Kathleen Castell
Travis is patient, encouraging in the best way, non-patronizing and empathic. He is all-knowing and yet approachable, and wildly entertainingly! Dang it’- he’s sorta god-like. Think costume god with a dollop of Midwest homespun-ness, a dash of Cary Grant charm, and a smidge of stand-up comedian and you are in the ballpark. Don’t turn down an opportunity to work with Travis!
-
Irma Haase
Travis is very patience, and willing to answer all types of questions. He’ll show different examples until you understand the technique is he demonstrating.
-
Susie Moore
Travis shows you step by step while showing you his special tips and tricks (and why he does them that way). Every class is full of details and allows you to ask questions (which he actually encourages). I highly recommend these classes!

Travis Halsey shares his depth of knowledge unselfishly. The industry in general tends to not make resources and techniques accessible. But with Travis Halsey and Halsey Onetage, I have been able to access training videos and patterns at affordable pricing via online access. He and his team are always available to answer questions or post updates online. I highly recommend Sewing Education At Halsey Onstage.
