What did polar explorers wear on their long voyages into the Arctic and Antarctic regions? Come and make your very own paper doll outfits in this drop-in craft session.
Together we will explore examples of Victorian and Edwardian fashion - both civilian and seafarer clothing - as well as historical and more modern polar gear.
We will also touch upon the role of drag and cross-dressing within the context of historical polar exploration. You will have a chance to practice your colouring skills with our pre-made paper doll outfits, as well as showcase your creativity and make brand new clothes for the paper doll sailors!
This event takes place in the Learning Space in the National Maritime Museum. All crafting materials will be provided and you are welcome to come and go as you please.
This event is part of the Thames Pride Arts Festival.
