My passion lies in historical costume – researching deeply into bygone eras and reanimating stories to delight a variety of audiences. My unique, loose design style coupled with precise construction produces captivating costumes. In 2019 I visited Haddon Hall and was whisked away to another world. This inspiring trip led to my final year project being centred around the grand Elizabethan location. My aims involve creating immersive performances/displays in partnership with historic sites, providing opportunities for learning, escapism and experiencing the past in a whole new way. Throughout life I have experienced all sides of performance (creating/viewing/performing). This allowed me to develop rounded knowledge of costume – practicality, aesthetics and atmosphere. Creating these costumes, along with additional projects I undertook, has served me great fulfilment. I have collaborated with Nottingham Castle, Newstead Abbey and individual performers – use my links to discover more.
