This programme, taking place over six consecutive Saturdays over July and August (9th, 16th and 23rd of July, 6th, 13th and 20th of August), aims to give costume personnel a practical grounding in traditional tailoring techniques, which can be applied to tailoring for all periods.

The programme will kick off on the first morning with a lecture on the last 200 years of menswear from costume designer Eimer Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh. This will be followed by a series of practical weekly workshops led by Gillian Carew, during which participants will make a tailored jacket encompassing many basic and advanced tailoring techniques.
