ALEX BRADLEY
COSTUME DESIGN AND MAKING
About Me
I am currently studying Costume Design and Making at University. My interests lie behind textiles, the science of fabric and different ways to create textures. I have volunteered on multiple theatre productions as a Costume Maker.
​
After University I am hoping to pursue making costumes in TV/Film or create textiles for fashion warehouses.
