A four-day design workshop for local designers, which was facilitated by the Department of Culture and the Golden Jubilee Festival Committee, concluded on Friday.

The workshop, dubbed the ‘Republic Jubilee Festival Arts Costume Design Workshop’, saw just over 30 participants which included local designers and students of the Burrowes School of Art. It was stated that the main goal was to improve the design and display of costumes for Mashramani 2020 and beyond. Sessions were led by Dr Vibert Cambridge, Antonio Butts, Claire Goring and Alan Vaughan.
