Costume Design for Game Characters

Costume designer Phoebe Maynard is with us for a thrilling interactive, hands-on workshop at this year’s festival. Whether you are an aspiring game designer, a craft lover, or just curious about how your favourite digital characters get their look, this session is the perfect place to explore your creativity.

This workshop invites creatives to discover the storytelling power of clothing. Phoebe will share her own professional designs and journey, guiding participants through the vital role costume design plays in video games.

Then, it’s time to get hands-on! Participants will investigate a vibrant mix of textures and materials, including recycling beautiful fabrics and flowers from previous projects. The majority of the session will be dedicated to a practical creation studio where you can cut, paste, and piece together your own character moodboards. Come pull up a chair, get inspired by the sea, and design the next great gaming icon!
