About me
In June 2013 I completed a three year degree course in Costume Construction for stage and screen at the University of Glamorgan. I am a dedicated and friendly individual who is passionate about pursuing a career within a costume department. I am eager to undertake any type of experience that brings me closer to working in my chosen field. Whilst my first love is theatre I would be equally happy in any role which will give me the chance to demonstrate my skills as well as presenting the opportunity to learn new ones.Additional skills:
I have proven costume making skills and I am able to pattern cut and adapt patterns to a precise standard. I have excellent hand and machine sewing abilities and am confident in using and rethreading both industrial or domestic sewing machines and overlockers. I have also gained experience in methods of dyeing and breaking down costumes as part of my University coursework. I have a good appreciation of the evolving history of period costume and fashion. I have had some basic practical experience in the use of special effects make-up, prosthetics and stage make-up.
