The Challenge

There are few things as frustrating as not being given enough time or compensation to execute a project. While designers, directors, and actors have access to agents who can negotiate and assemble contracts, costume artisans are left to their own devices in these matters. With no nation-wide guidance on how much an artisan should be paid, artisans are often undercompensated or given unreasonable deadlines for their highly skilled work.

The Tiring House’s solution to this problem provides you as an artisan with security and protection.

At The Tiring House, we provide a solution.

THE SOLUTION

COLLABORATING TWO WORLDS

The Tiring House helps bring your work to a wider audience, matching you with hundreds of clients across the UK to create exciting projects.
