Costume!
This half term we will be offering activity mornings based on the theme of Costume. We will particularly be focusing on Georgian costume as this was John Wesley’s era (1700s – 18th century)
During the session you will be able to:
- Wear It Like Wesley – dress up in Georgian costume and take a selfie!
- Design Your Own Costume – take a template and get creative with colour to dream up your own costume design
- Make a Tricorn Hat – these super-stylish hats were fashionable for men and boys in the Georgian era – now we think everyone should be wearing one!
- Wild Wigs – Men and women wore elaborate wigs in the Georgian era. How wild can you make yours?
- Lavender Bags – In Georgian times, hygiene was sometimes an issue and lavender bags were carried to distract attention from smelly bodies! Nowadays they are given as gifts to make a drawer smell or a wardrobe smell nice! Make a lavender bag and write a message tag with a quill pen and ink.
