So you are making a movie and you want to go way back in time...what did the people of that time wear?
Where can you get those clothes, after all there are no Viking clothes shops around that we know of...
This is why movies, set in the past, present and future need to have a costume designer.
With the help of our friends at the Hunt Museum in Limerick we will learn to work as a team of costume designers for fictional characters who lived in historic Limerick during the Viking, Medieval, and Georgian periods.
Take inspiration from the Best Costume Goes To… exhibition and selected Hunt Museum objects from the video link at the top.
After this inspiration have a look at what you can learn to do yourself.
Let your imaginations run wild!
