I take every opportunity to pass on the knowledge and skills I have collected on my journey, through hands-on workshops in historical European costume-making, museum mounting and object preservation, and lectures on collection management and Western fashion history. Bespoke sessions, to meet the specific needs of clients, can also be devised that combine a range of theoretical subjects and practical skills.

Historical costumes were made to be worn, and a mount that can mimic the form of the original wearer is vital, if an accurate silhouette is to be achieved. Using conservation-standard techniques, I create effective supports for garments and flat items, meeting the needs of both the client and the object.
