Amelia Wailes

I am a final year BA(H) Costume Design and Construction student, who came to Nottingham from County Durham. I have a background in theatre, working on Shrek the Musical, (2022), in Darlington: helping make the costumes and run behind the show. During my time at NTU, I have refined my construction skills: focusing on pattern making, tailoring and millenary. Additionally, I have taken seasonal work at Notts Maze from 2023-2025 on their Halloween production, and created costumes for the team Powerbluff Girls in the 2024 Redbull Soapbox race. I specialise in wig making and construction techniques, but I’m always keen for new opportunities to hone my skills in all areas of costume making.
