5/29, 11:30am: Costuming 101: The Art of Rhinestoning
$35

Taught by Frankie Fictitious

Friday, May 29th from 11:30am to 12:30pm

Join Frankie Fictitious for a rhinestone workshop that goes beyond the basics. Frankie will walk you through how she personally approaches costuming — from initial concept to final stone placement — sharing her favorite techniques, shortcuts, layout tricks, and the little details that make a piece feel expensive and powerful on stage.

We’ll cover composition, flow, color pairing, density, layering, and how to build texture so your pieces will catch the most light. No experience necessary — whether you’re stoning your first piece or refining your signature look, you’ll leave with practical tools and a sharper creative eye.
