LUCY FOWLER
Set and Costume Designer
ABOUT ME
Cotswolds | Cardiff | London
Growing up I loved to dance, having several opportunities to perform at my local arts centre. In school I participated in music concerts as a singer and a clarinettist, though Art was always my favourite subject. I loved to get stuck into each project experimenting in different mediums from paper maché to painting to photography.​
​
In 2017, I graduated from the BA (Hons) Design for Performance course at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. The 3 years gave me a hands-on experience in design and making, set and costumes for stage and performance.
I enjoy being involved in the practical application of designing, making and rendering, whether working in a model box or sewing garments.
Intrigued by the past, people and places, I channel my curiosity into the design process where every stage of rendering provides a different challenge. It is exciting to see a production unfold, from page to stage.
I have always been creative and fascinated by live performance; I feel lucky to have found a career path that combines both.
