Tidal Textiles - a queer costuming lab
Get your costume ready for Fierce Queens 2026 with Bold Mellon Collective!
In this hands-on costume workshop, explore how design tells a story – through texture, colour and character. Gather inspiration from the Royal Museums Greenwich collection, then reimagine discarded fabrics and plastics into bold creations inspired by maritime and queer histories.
Experiment with surface manipulation techniques such as appliqué and pleating with sustainable DIY flair, as you craft a unique accessory to elevate your Fierce Queens look.
No prior experience is necessary. Participants are encouraged to bring their own fabrics, costume pieces and idea drafts. Out-of-the-box upcycling options are also welcome.
These workshops are FREE to attend, but booking is required as we have limited spaces available. If you have any access requirements, please contact learning@rmg.co.uk.
Please note that this is a two-part series taking place on Friday 23rd January and Saturday 24th January from 1pm-4pm at the National Maritime Museum.
Facilitated by: Amy-Rose Edlyn, Emilia Nurmukhamet and Annie Dearnley of Bold Mellon Collective CIC
Age restriction: 18+
