About Me

My name is Minerva, I am a costume maker and designer with training in corsetry, millinery and tailoring from The Northern School of Art, I’ve also dabbled in costume breakdown and a variety of costume embellishment techniques all of which have given me a respect for these delicate and specialist arts.

Outside of my work I enjoy gothic literature as well as film and theatre.
