COVID-19 Update
We are so excited to relaunch our workshop series and have all our fingers and toes crossed that we will remain open and can finally plan long term again!
We can still welcome one individual in each of our work spaces per day and are now currently providing access to both our leather working/shoemaking space and our sewing space.
We are happy to provide dyeing, breakdown and sewing services, call for details.
We are also renting out machines again and are looking forward to providing the tools and space your need to complete your projects.
If you have any questions please reach out to us directly at costume.alchemy.yyc@gmail.com.
Our Story
We were founded in 2019 by Kim Lennox and Gina Bennett, and are located in Calgary. We offer workshops and classes in order to inspire and enhance everyone’s creative spark and spirit. Make sure you don’t miss out on any of the magic by joining us today. We are looking forward to offering workshops again soon and are currently keeping busy providing dyeing, breakdown and sewing services to the film and theatre industries.
Our Artistic Values
Costume Alchemy was born out of a desire to see Calgary artists share their knowledge and grow in their crafts. We believe our community of artists and technicians grows stronger when we collaborate and continue to elevate our skills.
