Handbook of Costume Accessories
Diane Favell Giles Favell
An introduction to both traditional and new techniques of making Costume props and accessories for
Stage and Media use.
COSTUME ACCESSORIES works through a cross-section of practical projects, with Histories, making
instructions,
and order-of-works, supported with photographs and drawings throughout.
Examples include canes and hats, crowns and lorgnettes, and very much
more - all with the object of exercising a wide variety of techniques
and approaches to the craft.
Methods include: Millinery;
leather-work; glove making; metal-work; jewellery work; bead-work;
crochet; embroidery; 3D printing; CNC routing; chainmaille.
Much of
the work may be familiar, such as leather-work - but the book introduces
techniques less often seen in theatre, which are now very much more
available and practical to use. The changing world of the internet
enables us to buy much more - but also the extraordinary (affordable)
technology of small CNC machines enables us to make things in new,
different ways as well.
Diane Favell is Head of Wardrobe at RADA and has a workshop where she works on her Silversmithing.
