COMMENTARY

Costume Academy (Berkeley, Calif.) The Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild has just announced Costume Academy, a one day, multi-workshop event on Sunday, March 14th. Basically, there are three time slots with three classes in each — you take one class per time slot, so a total of three classes in one day.

The class topics include pattern drafting and draping, trimming (buttons, embroidery and ribbon flowers), hair pieces and ear prosthetics, Victorian practical and decorative pleating, and an overview on 18th c. quilted petticoats.

Should be excesses of fun — cost is $45 members (including ICG members)/$50 non-members. Lots more info, include sign-up info, is available at at this website.
