Studio Davina Blog<\/span><\/h3>\n

In 2024, the Blog features articles related to my current research, writing, and design projects. This year I’m celebrating the 30th anniversary of my first book “Costuming from the Hip.” As I work on the rewrite and expansion of this book, watch for more posts on the writing life. Read the latest blog here<\/a>.<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Classes with Davina on Patreon<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deeper dives than a blog post\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\nEach month I share four<\/span> presentations including talks, demos, and classes. The classes, demos, talks, and workshops are pre-recorded and available on Patreon. You can watch them at your convenience. To join me for my classes, choose your level of participation for the month and become a Patreon. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once you join us on Patreon, you will gain access to content organized in four price-tiered collections. You can subscribe for one month or a whole year and take time to explore the back catalog of information at these levels:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
