Let's discuss training your eye: visual tell-tales that can help you decide what is useful for a variety of eras! We'll also cover fibre burn tests, and what to feel for if you're in a situation where taking a swatch isn't possible. I'll also offer common meterage charts for things like household linens (and their likely subsequent uses!). I'll also have examples of kit made using only repurposed items!
I have spent over 10 years as a professional living history and museum theatre specialist and have extensive experience outfitting high standard productions, films, and programmes with shoestring budgets. I want this to be empowering and creative while also being financially responsible, and committed to as authentic a material culture representation as participants are interested in creating.
