Creating Costumes

How to make your own

Costume designing requires nothing more than an expansive imagination, and an alchemic spirit. To look at an object, or a piece of fabric and see beyond its physical boundaries, is what defines a creator. I will teach you to see past the fact that it is simply a styrofoam ball, tire chain, or kitchen colander. A glue gun is a must!! Learn how to create costumes on a budget and weave all kinds of recycled materials into a magical costume that will inspire all who see it.

Babs will be teaching a seminar on how to make your own incredible costumes, and headdresses this fall 2006. The seminar is not only for stage performers, but also for anyone who is interested in making an unforgettable outfit. The date is yet to be announced, but here are some examples of Babs' unlimited and resourceful imaginings.
