What's been your highlight during your time at Guildhall?

The highlight of my time here so far has been working on the Production of Henry VIII. This was my first show as a costume assistant at Guildhall, and the design was incredible. It was so much fun to problem-solve and create these massive costumes, as well as learning the process of creating a show for the first time. 

What's something you've learned that you feel will help you when you graduate?

My knowledge of costume construction has significantly improved since I arrived here. I now have a much better understanding of how to make patterns and complex garments, as well as fitting etiquette and the process of a supervisor. I believe these skills will be incredibly valuable as I enter the industry.
