We will explore folk costume through history, looking at the symbolism and purpose of several garments, talking about the context each costume was seen in and the importance of mythmaking and character when designer in a folk setting.

After this, we’ll work in groups to develop a paper costume, creating striking and powerful silhouettes to inform the story we want to tell with our garment.

Finally, we’ll look at costume in the mumming tradition, and use found material to embellish existing garments for use in a contemporary mummer’s play.
This is a free workshop. No experience necessary.
Access: Free parking available.
