MY JOURNEY THROUGH COSTUME

 

Hi my name is Fran Stockell, I am Married to Ed and we have a Son Matthew who is 21 years old.  

I am a mature student and studying at University for Costume Design and Interpretation in Hartlepool UK.

I have always been intrigued and fascinated with costume so I decided this course was just for me. This is my journey.

 

                          These first eight are some images I made in 2014 before I started University
