Summary

An exploration of the corset as a motif for textile artists, with practical tips and examples. Used for the last 400 years to contort the female body into a variety of fashionable silhouettes, the corset has become a fascinating and hugely popular motif for modern textile artists who wish to represent the female body using the largely feminine traditions of textile and stitch. Beginning with a step-by-step guide to constructing a simple fabric corset, the book goes on to explore more contemporary and experimental approaches to construction, from using unusual materials such as lace, metal, paper and found fibres to up-cycling or repurposing existing garments to make a statement. This practical guide is full of exercises for creating intimate garments and wearable art in two- and three-dimensions and is packed with inspiring work and installations by other contemporary artists.

    This comprehensive guide offers a detailed range of instructions on oral posture and associated exercises designed specifically for developing an authentic Irish accent (both Northern and Southern). It delves into the significant differences between northern and southern Irish accents, providing an in-depth analysis and unique exercise tracks tailored to both. The course is meticulously structured, offering step-by-step guidance not only for Irish accent development but also for mastering a general British accent, which can be a foundational step in creating a convincing Irish accent. 
In addition to the core instructions, the course is enriched with various general tips and tricks that aid in accent development. It also includes a section on common Irish expressions and idioms, enhancing the depth of any Irish character being developed, particularly for unscripted roles. This makes the course an invaluable tool for actors preparing for auditions where an Irish accent is required or for those looking to expand their range of accents in their professional toolkit. 
Moreover, this course stands as a perfect resource for continuous Irish accent development, starting with a comprehensive overview and then transitioning into a repository of exercises for ongoing practice and refinement. It is a part of a broader series of British accent courses that also encompass RP, Cockney, Scottish, and Welsh accents, making it an essential resource for actors and linguists aiming to master accents from the British Isles.
