Abstract

This article offers a glimpse into the pedagogical methodologies and outcomes of the recently established Historical Tailoring, Costume for the Performing Arts course at the Fondazione Arte della Seta Lisio in Florence. Carried out by two practitioner educators, the study employs a qualitative approach, gathering data through interviews with course leaders, specialist educators and students. It highlights the unique context of learning costume design and making within a cultural institution in which historical textile crafts are preserved and displayed to the public, and a course which draws on educators’ diverse backgrounds and emphasizes craftsmanship and collaborative learning. Furthermore, it discusses the integration of theoretical lectures with practical experiences, including workshops, museum visits and internships, to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of costume design. The findings indicate positive outcomes, including students’ successful transitions to professional roles within the industry.
