Tudor Tales only construct and wear historically re created clothing where only linen and wool are used in their construction. They are entirely hand sewn with the majority of our clothing being ‘hand dyed’ using natural plant dyes. Participants in the workshops may try on our range of clothing and are welcome to look closer at their construction as we take great pride on the style and fit of our clothes. Workshops can be tailored to the needs of the particular group and our demonstrations cater for all age ranges and interests. Schools can book the Victorian School Mistress for an hour long Victorian lesson using ‘slates’ and pencils, or a club or society might prefer the Victorian housewife where ‘underpinnings’ and ‘clothing’ is discussed and explored. Norman, Medieval Tudor and Stuart food and cooking can be explored alongside other particular interest workshops, detailing women’s social and domestic history such as spinning, using replica equipment and clothes. Cosmetics and simple medicines can be made in the Stillroom workshops, where participants can take home their precious remedies. In contrast children may want to learn how the children of the past may have lived through clothing, toys and the discovery of the worst jobs in history!
Tudor Tales are happy to inspire adults as well as children- So be inspired and experience the past, its exciting!
