Costume Design 101: A Masterclass by Charlese Antoinette

Costume Designer Charlese Antoinette (Judas and the Black Messiah) brings a virtual Master Class on Costume Design to share her acclaimed designing process. She will teach how to visually communicate your ideas to the actors, director and entire costume team, as well as how to stay organized along the way so you don’t get lost in the sauce. Why is she doing this? She loves costume design and wants everyone to win & work seamlessly together. When you’re organized and a great visual communicator, the job is much lighter. This class is great for people who have some experience, people looking to pivot careers, and also established Costume Designers looking for a new way of working.

“This Masterclass is perfect for the highly creative individual seeking to learn my successful Costume Design process.”— Charlese Antoinette

The first masterclass will be held via Zoom on Saturday, November 19th @ 10am PST/ 1PM EST
