EVENTS & EXHIBITIONS

A dressing evening with Juliet Rylance as Perdita from Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale
Besides courses, the School is doing events regularly : evening dressings by candlelight, conferences and study days, during which original objects from the Collection and reconstructions are usually displayed.
More recently, in order to open up the collection to a wider audience, exhibitions are being organised twice a year on selected days, with free entry for all.
The first exhibition, ‘Our Collection by Colour No. 1 WHITE’, included displays on ‘Ruffs’, ‘Muslin’ and ‘New Fashions from Old’. The Summer 2023 exhibition, No. 2 BLUE, will focus on zero-waste versus wasteful use of fabric in cutting clothes.
Special events can be booked from our shop, under “events“.
The School does not have regular opening hours and is not open for visit except during courses, exhibitions or special events.
