It is primarily a technical class focusing on cutting and stitching, dye techniques, and theatrical craft including millinery and/or mask making. Upon completion of this class, students will have completed a period garment, designed and executed a craft piece and compiled a mini portfolio of techniques and skills. This course is a prerequisite for Theater 593D (Draping and Patternmaking).
