Costume Fabrication
Below is a collection of costumes I constructed working in the NYU Graduate Costume Shop, the Kenyon College Costume shop from 2014-2018, and during an assistant at Boston’s Huntington Theatre in 2016.
All paper hair pieces I designed and created which are inspired by the period of the design.
