Caitlin Hutton's costume for 'Over The Garden Wall' features a woven puppet hat.

Over the Garden Wall

My first project re-imagines the beloved Cartoon Network animated series 'Over the Garden Wall', created by Patrick McHale, as an adaptation for stage. The story follows two young boys trying to return home through a mysterious forest landscape, referred to as 'the unknown'. My designs combine early 1900s fashion with 1970s fashion, to convey the unconventional environment to audiences through live theatre.

 

My costume created for 'Beatrice', a girl cursed to be a bluebird, utilises puppetry and millinery techniques alongside screenprinting, machine knitting, and visible mending to create Beatrice's bluebird form and her regular attire underneath. Caitlin Hutton
