About me
My background, so far, is in theatre, and I am looking to expand and refine my skills. I have worked at my local theatre on a few of their productions. I have worked closely with the costume and props department, working under the manager as an assistant, buying for, sourcing and assisting with the sewing of costumes and making of props. I have also had experience working with the set, and backstage crew.I have recently completed an HNC in Costume, Hair, Makeup and Prosthetics for Film. During the HNC I developed skills in: Costume breakdown, dying and colouring costume techniques, costume design, costume research, manual sewing, industry level and home machine sewing skills, script breakdown, sculpting, casting, applying and painting silicone and pro-bondo prosthetics with alcohol paints. I also improved my wig styling, blocking, washing, and applying makeup styles from different eras.
I am a maker and I am drawn to learning new skills. I have never stopped creating my own work, researching new materials and developing ideas. This is particularly relevant and essential during the lockdown.
