Village Choir Costume Workshops and Inspiration

The theme is ‘Spirit of the Woods’ - interpret as you wish! Here are some images to set you off.

As part of our Festival Village Choir this year, we’re inviting you to join in with our community singing workshops led by Dave, and also to think about costumes for performing in!

The costume planning is led by textile artist Arwen, who made last year’s festival banner (pictured below), along with a group of talented volunteers.

The workshops will focus on ways of adapting, decorating and upcycling pieces of clothing into wearable art, maybe incorporating song lyrics from the songs learnt in the workshops; anything from full costumes to small accessories - whatever you’re comfortable wearing - for anyone who wants to join in or get some ideas, hints and tips, and practical help for making your own pieces. Equally, you’re very welcome to make your own pieces at home!

Keep checking this page as it grows into a mood board of images and ideas to spark your creativity!
