Breathe:

Before we broke up for Easter, I had a tutorial with my tutor Adele and the supervisor of Breathe, Grace. This was to discuss the basic ideas of what I wanted to get out of the Breathe project. I was very interested in the textural side of construction, to be able to experiment with this and being able to do some very basic workshops with some of the people from outside of uni who will be in the Breathe procession.

Over Easter the original designs had changed, some some of the workshops I was going to produced where no longer possible. Today I had a meeting with the Breathe team to discuss what I would be able to do. 

I have always been interested in headdress making, so luckily through this project I will be able to really experiment with different textures and shapes to recreate the 'Hunters' headdress. 

Because of time constrictions on my part with extra projects and the costume store work. I will have to use the 'Breathe Club' to do a work shop of how I created parts of the headdress or the whole headdress I can then help to instruct any volunteers who can help on how to recreate the headdress. Volunteers from Breathe can be apart of the making of their costumes and I will be able to gain valuable teaching and assisting time.

  

Below are all of the designs for the 'Hunters'

Designs collaborated by Kate McStraw, based on designs by Kirsty Hanlon and Level 5 designers'

I will only be making certain parts of some of the designs below:

.3 headdress's

.Cloak- top row, 2nd in

By the end of this week I hope to have:

.Decided on the range of materials I hope to use in the cloaks and the headdress'

.Looked at how to constructed the headdress- create the right shape
