Decadent Doubles: Costume-making workshop with Miss HerNia

Join Lolly Adams, aka Miss HerNia, for a costume-making workshop. Make your own masks, veils or brooches to create your decadent double through character and costume, be they drag, dandy or diva!  

This workshop is one of two organised by the Staging Decadence project for the Performance Festival, alongside a zine-making workshop led by E.M. Parry in the Art Studio at 10:30 – 13:00.  

After the afternoon workshop, Miss HerNia, E.M. Parry and Staging Decadence invite you to gather for complimentary tea and cake, to share your creations and indulge! 

 

A sign-up sheet will be available from 13:00 at the Art Studio. 

Lolly Adams is a multidisciplinary artist studying at The Royal Academy Schools. She creates alter-egos that play with psychological metaphors and themes of excess, value and humour. Miss HerNia’s performances exorcise shame and rejection into sexy spectacles that celebrate pleasure and chaos while depicting dystopian scenes, where the mutant offspring of our throwaway society exist and revel in our ecological disaster. The fatberg princess has performed at Glastonbury, Arts Admin, Battersea Arts Centre and The Bomb Factory. @misshernia.
