It must be a young wizard's birthday...

We ABBA-solutely loved making these costumes for the super talented Becci Morrell!
Recreating replicas of their iconic looks from the Asian tour, our fabric wizard made Abba costumes and Kimonos from scratch, then we needed to hand paint the floral designs on and add gems to give that extra touch of bling!
Thank you for choosing the Curious theme factory.

Happy Star Wars day.
What an honour and a pleasure!
A chance to help implement the ideas of local youngsters into a mural that celebrates diversity and disability in our own community!
Thank you Closer Communities for getting us on board with this, truly inspiring to see how positive and creative young people are.
Well done to Scarborough Fair for celebrating the impact that the creative arts have on people, and how it can bring so many groups, organisations and charities together.
Details in the audio description.
A lot of work went to this fabulous headwear collection!
Here's just some of many hats created by our fabric wizard, and even a couple of costumes were whipped up too!

SIGNWRITING PART 2 -
(Nerves in the workshop!)
Once all the painting was done it was decided that the signs were too bright, bold & new...
So, ageing and weathering effects were needed to make them look like they'd been hanging in the Scarborough elements for a while!

SIGNWRITING PART 1:
We had to turn back the clock nearly 30 years to our time at Scarborough 'Tech' college, and recall our signwriting lessons for one of many projects on our workbench this week.
More sign art and where they're going in video part 2!

Why are we painting a winking fish? And what does it have to do with Hannah The Soldier Diaries!?
Hint - it's not one of the main characters! π
You'll have to see the show to find out!
We love a good Musical, especially when we get to combine so many of them into huge Musical theatre stage dressings!
Thanks to Studio 3 - Formerly The Scarborough Dance Centre for using so many of our pieces. We hope you have a great show!!

FROM PAGE TO STAGE!
Just a few of the many hats we've created for various Pantomimes over the last few months.
As always, a great pleasure to work with the super talented designer Christopher Hardcastle Costumier.
Hat's off to all the creatives who make the wonderful world of panto so spectacular!

Panto round up number 3!
This was a big one - Sherwood forest and a new village for Claire's Pantomime Productions "Robin Hood"!
Combining 2x 24ft canvas backdrops with new 12ft wooden flats and borders was a big job, and at one point we couldn't see the wood for the trees! π€£
All the best to the cast and crew for a fantastic run. πππ
