FdA Costume Student


Biography

Ruby began her three-year journey at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School with a passion for corsetry, and has since developed her making skills to include an advanced understanding of tailoring, stretchwear, millinery, metalwork and leatherwork.

She has also successfully adapted to the role of costume supervisor, working with both contemporary and period themes.  In her final year, Ruby has explored the design process with a study in fantastical womenswear.

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
