How to Make an Elizabethan Ruff!

Here is Catriona Bradley (@catrionalb on Instagram) showing you how you can make your very own Elizabethan ruff at home! Catriona designed and created costumes for several second year CSF shows, and for Julius Caesar in third year.

(A ruff is the frilly collar you see on portraits of the early moderns)

This year should have been our sixth summer season, but due to COVID-19 we had to postpone, and a return next summer is uncertain. As a community interest company, we are unable to take advantage of schemes to support the arts, so we are turning to the community for help. If you'd like to support the festival through these unprecedented times, every donation really helps and means a lot to us.
