Re: Carpenters, wheelwrights etc. wanted
Coach is probably the wrong term! Look up the carriage in the Luttrell Psalter and you will see the extent of our insanity!

Carpenters, wheelwrights etc. wanted
I am looking into the feasibility of having a medieval coach made. I am looking for the specialists and putting together a cost of the total project. I realise that there is probably nobody out there who has done anything quite like this, or on this scale, and that the project will be, in part, expe...

Luttrell Psalter Film Update
The 20 minute Luttrell Psalter Film is now avaiable on DVD. The film follows a year in the life of a medieval village as illustrated in the Psalter (incidentaly, we re-shot the harvest this year to catch better weather). The DVD also includes an interview with Michelle Brown (author of the Facsimile...

However, we found our beautiful Lady of Shalott (Victoria Rigby) through a poster campaign. Victoria spotted our poster in the ice cream parlour of Lincoln's Bailgate (where you can have your ice cream in a medieval undercroft!). We went back while filming to thank the shop and take down the poster:...

The lady of Shalott
We are making a short filmed dramatisation of Tennyson's poem The Lady of Shalott. After the discipline of making costumes for the Luttrell Psalter we are all enjoying the liberation of a Victorian Pre-Raphaelite view of the medieval world - which draws its inspiration from 400 years of costume hist...

Children's Victorian boots
Does anyone know of a supplier of Victorian boots for children? It is for a museum order. I have posted this query in the items for sale section too.
Cheers all.

I was given this tip years ago by a costumier. Dip the fabric in a very dilute solution of potassium permanganate, this has the effect of browning the fabric. We have used it frequently to dull brightly dyed linen reducing it to a more believable natural dye colour. It won't be suitable for your jac...

CAD programme advice?
Can anyone recomend a CAD programme for pattern design? I have created so many patterns over the last few years that I have filled a four drawer filing cabinet and I would like to computerise them.

I think one of the biggest problems in the past (were diet induced caries wasn't much of an issue), was accidental damage. If it were not for modern dentistry many of us would have fairly unsightly smiles regardless of the care we have taken of our teeth. Hard physical work, sport, play, horse ridin...
