WKU Continuing Education will offer a three-week non-credit costume production class in January. Costume Production and Technology is a theater course that emphasizes a hands-on introduction to construction techniques for complete stage costumes, with a focus on historical costumes for the theater.

Participants will receive 60 hours of hands-on instruction in clothing construction, patterning and fabrics, as well as the workings of a professional costume shop. The course is ideal for school, church or other organizations in the community that coordinate plays, pageants and productions.

Prior sewing experience is not required, and individuals with some sewing ability will also learn something new. A course supply list will be distributed the first night of class and will require minimal expense.

Registration ends Dec. 9. The class will be offered at the WKU Ivan Wilson Fine Arts Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday-Friday, Jan. 2-20. Cost for the course is $750. Limited space is available, so register today.
