During my last summer as a Student, I decided it would be a great idea to work 7 day weeks split between being a Shoe Shop Assistant ("can you guarantee these shoes will fit my child come September?" to which i would respond, "Can you guarantee your child will not grow within the next 8 weeks?".. Parents!)
And the lovely First Family Entertainment for their 2010/11 season. I had the opportunity to make, mend and craft. I worked on designs by Terry Parsons and Emma Waugh.

The first three photographs are costumes I made from a preexisting pattern.

I also worked on costumes similar to the third photograph, that needed sprucing up! We call it, "polishing a turd"

In the forth photograph I constructed the corset and attached the Obi. I made 6 corsets for Aladdin in Glasgow.

The last image of a mask i made from leather. Its Pig skin, and when rehydrated, you can mold it into any shape you like, leave it to dry, and then voila! In this instance, I soaked the leather, and then stretched it into a mold. When they aren't painted, and you hold it up to your face, whilst stood at the glass window of the warehouse, with all the lights off... well you can really scare someone!
