hi, I'm Eleanor Potter

I'm Eleanor, a costume designing and making student from Nottingham Trent University.  My work  combines a passion for future thinking and spaces of performance. With a vision for unconventional theatre methods, the costumes I create are targeted at a wide, unexpecting audience, of all ages and backgrounds. As a costume designer and maker my work has a clear stamp of sustainability, explorations into materials, recycling and using what already exists is a route I travel down with my costumes. 

​

The experience of going to an open air performance, being surrounded by real trees and bird song adds to the atmosphere. Walking through a woodland performance able to touch, feel and see details of costumes impossible to do sat in a seat of a traditional end on stage. Costume not only brings actors to life but connects audience members to personal and relatable themes.
