The Cos Academy

The Cos Academy is here to guide you on your journey toward cosplay excellence. You’ll gain hands-on techniques for building props, styling wigs, sewing costumes, designing armor, mastering SFX makeup, and more — while also sharpening what happens after the costume is complete like cosplay posing, competitions, content creation, and social media growth. Our expert instructors bring award-winning experience and insider knowledge to help you grow with purpose, creativity, and confidence. And it's all done via online Zoom meetings so you can do it from home.
