A group of ten stitchers where invited to attend a series of workshops, talks and museum visits to delve into the history of the two women represented in this project.
Each participant received two wooden mini figures and was asked to design and create an historic costume for the figures reflecting dress from the mid nineteenth century, the finished design for the two live models was designed referencing some of the historical details.
Four stitchers along with the artist, models, film makers and historians spent the day at the Steve Russell Studios in Stroud becoming part of the activity to digitally capture two live models in historic clothing.
