Exploring costumology with costume designers/artists Luisa Olmos and Frances Heap - the costume designers for the Derwent Pulse!
In the workshop we explored the art of costume designing by creating a wearable, light up sculpture to become part of a light parade.
We created the pieces using polypropylene and LED tape strips attached to a portable battery, and anything else we could get out hands on including tape and elastic. We were also able to choose our own settings for the lights including, colour, movement and speed which was fun.
I did find the task quite challenging at first as I had never worked with the polypropylene material before and I hadn't had much experience with creating wearable 3D pieces so couldn't grasp the concept at first but once we all got together for the light parade they all worked really well together and looked extremely effective as a collective.
