Atgyweiriadau ac Addasiadau Brys ar gyfer y Llwyfan a'r Sgrin

Pwy ddylai fynychu'r cwrs?

Mae'r cwrs hwn wedi'i anelu at unrhyw un sy'n gweithio yn yr adran wisgoedd o fewn y theatr neu'r teledu ac sydd eisiau gwella eu sgiliau gwnïo/addasiadau. Mae ar agor i ddechreuwyr gwnïo yn ogystal â'r rhai sydd â lefel sylfaenol o wnïo o leiaf.

Nod y Sesiwn.

Nod y sesiwn yw galluogi pobl i allu gwneud atgyweiriadau a newidiadau brys fel Gwisgwr llwyfan neu wrth gefn ar gyfer sgrin, gellir defnyddio'r sgiliau hefyd mewn sefyllfaoedd bob dydd.

Erbyn diwedd y gweithdy dylech chi fod yn ....

  • Atgyweirio rhwyg/rhwyg neu dwll.
  • Byrhau/estyn darn o ddillad neu len.
  • dod o hyd i ateb dros dro i atgyweirio zip sydd wedi torri.
  • Gwnïo botwm a chau ymlaen, gwnïo felcro ymlaen, gwnïo deiliaid strap bra ymlaen.
  • Amnewid elastig, defnyddio tâp toupée i gadw eitemau yn eu lle.
  • Pwytho cyflym i wneud plygiadau dros dro yn yr ysgwyddau/gyddfau, ac ati.

Yr hyn sydd angen i chi ei baratoi/dod gyda chi...

Byddai'n ddefnyddiol ymchwilio i wahanol ddulliau o gau dillad cyn y cwrs. Os yn bosibl, dewch â phecyn gwnïo sylfaenol - siswrn, gwniadur, nodwyddau, pinnau ac ati. Fe fydd peiriannau gwnïo yn cael eu darparu, ond croeso i chi ddod a un eich hun.
