Claire-Louise is an established theatrical costumier with an impressive CV. She has worked in all aspects of the exciting world of theatrical costume, all over the UK and abroad, from an RSC tour of Japan to TV's Midsomer Murders.
In her fascinating, interactive talk, Claire-Louise reveals all the people and tricks used to make costumes for stage and screen. There will be a chance for us all to practise what we learn and create a character board for an actor and break down a section of script.
After Claire-Louise's talk there will be a chance for members and non-members to chat and socialise and plan our future meetings for 2013.
There will also be a chance for new members to join and old members to renew their subscriptions – which are now due!
This event is free for both members and visitors.
