'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.
