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.
