Robin of Sherwood

'Robin of Sherwood' was a semi professional production at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham, involving the 'Royal Company', an amateur group based at the theatre, and students, like myself, from Nottingham Trent University.

Myself and about 7 other students made and designed the costumes, with the help and advice of designer Lyndsey Bradford, who worked with the Royal Company.

The making process included breaking the costumes down using cheese graters, vaseline and spray paint amongst other things.

'Threads' Production

'Threads' was a production at The Christian Centre church in Nottingham. It was a retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, and I volunteered to design and make the costumes, aided by a couple of other volunteers. The concept of the show was that it was set in a kind of heavenly textile factory, where the workers helped God to weave stories in the world. For the costumes I decided to take influence from historical and modern factory unifroms, but with a difference. Because it was set in a textile factory, I wanted to use a range of fabrics and textures, while maintaining a uniformity of colour. I also felt it was important that the characters looked individual, and the costumes looked customised and worn.
