This in-depth class explores the art and practice of costumes. Students will have hands-on experience bringing characters to life through what they wear, creating their own drawings, as well as pulling from Two Rivers’ costume stock based on the design techniques learned. This class is for anyone who wants to dive into a character through their fashion choices. Students should bring a laptop or iPad to every class. Email summercamp@trtc.org with questions.
