The Art & Craft of Costumes

Join Susan Peach for a fascinating talk about how to design and make costumes. Susan’s skills extend from making simple costumes for kids’ plays, to elaborate replicas of historical dress for grand occasions. She’ll show Victorian outfits she created for a Heritage Festival, and discuss what it was like for women of that period to wear and care for such challenging clothes.
