Kate Collins is a freelance costume maker and cutter working from her North-east studio.Trained at Wimbledon School of Art and Glyndebourne Opera Company and now offering bespoke high quality and reliable costume making.
Costume from Carmen, Glyndebourne Production
Costume from Iphigene, Glyndebourne Production.
Hand embroidery and applique work on wool crepe dress for Merry Widow
A wide range of skills is displayed in previous work (see PORTFOLIO_PHOTOS_), from hand-embellished period wear and historical corsetry to individual creative 3D theatrical costume, all of which are executed in a thoroughly proffessional manner right through from interpretation of design to realisation of the final costume.
As a free-lance maker I offer the service of high quality costumes to theatres and companies either with no Wardrobe facilities of their own or as a supplement to them if the work load is too much. I can easily travel to the desired location for meetings and fittings but use my own studio in which to make.
STUDIO_ Work is produced from a fully equipped studio based in Newcastle-upon-TyneUK which has the diversity of taking on work from around the country and providing an excellent 'out-work' facility to many companies.
