<p>Very short notice, but on November 12 <a href="http://www.dtm.se/default.asp">Drottningholms Slottsteater</a> are <a href="http://www.dtm.se/aktuellt.asp">selling out some of their costumes</a>. As they mainly use 18th century style costumes I though it might be of interest, especially to those who don’t make their own 18th century clothes!</p>tag:18thcenturyblog.com,2008-10-19:Post/7522011-08-15T09:58:39+02:002011-08-15T09:58:39+02:00Shoemaking workshop in New York<p><img class="upload" src="https://18thcblog.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/1441_medium.jpg" id="image_1441" alt="[Image]" style="width:586px; height:391px" />

<p>I just found this on <a href="http://fashionablefrolick.blogspot.com">A Fashionable Frolick</a>. If you’re near New York you can sign up for a week long 18th century shoemaking workshop, August 20-27. Head over to <a href="http://fashionablefrolick.blogspot.com/2011/08/18th-century-shoemaking-workshop.html">A Fashionable Frolick</a> to read more! </p>
<p>I would absolutely love to do this, learning to make my own shoes is probably highest on my 18th century wishlist, but unfortunately it’s not possible for me to get to New York that soon.</p>tag:18thcenturyblog.com,2008-10-19:Post/7442011-01-18T11:33:34+01:002011-01-18T11:35:01+01:00Photos from the winter ball at Château d’Ursel<p><a href="http://18thcenturyblog.com/images/1422"><img class="upload" src="https://18thcblog.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/1422_medium.jpg" id="image_1422" alt="[Image]" style="width:586px; height:390px" /></a></p>

<p>Yesterday I went to <a href="http://www.gustafsskal.se">Gustafs skål</a>’s Twelfth night ball, and I had a wonderful time! I also met <a href="http://isiswardrobe.blogspot.com">Isis</a>, who had a fantastic foresty <a href="http://isiswardrobe.blogspot.com/2011/01/12th-night-costume.html">costume</a>, and <a href="http://madameberg.blogspot.com">Madame Berg</a>, who looked amazing, for the first time. I forgot to take any photos but my boyfriend took a few of my costume when I got back home. I wore the polonaise with a new but unfinished pelisse (the hood trim and armholes are missing). I was planning to make a matching muff as well but didn’t have time. </p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.botan.uu.se/Engindex.html">Linnaean Gardens</a> of Uppsala are the gardens off famous Swedish 18th century botanist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Linnaeus">Carl von Linné</a>, and the oldest botanical garden in Sweden. The gardens, and Linné’s summer house Hammarby are open to the public and seem to have 18th century events every now and then.

<p>September 3-26 there will be a big 18th century festival in Copenhagen called <a href="http://festival.goldendays.dk/forside">1700s - globalization, gossip and greed</a>.</p>
<p>There will be countless lectures, shows, tours, exhibitions and concerts, and the festival opens with a big masquerade ball. I would love to go to some of the lectures because they sound really interesting, but unfortunately I just don’t understand spoken Danish. </p>

<p>I received an invitation to the <a href="http://www.early-dance.de/en/event/winterbal-chateau-dursel/2010-12-11-9913">Winter Ball at Château d’Ursel</a>, in Belgium. While I won’t be able to go to an event in Belgium I thought I’d pass the information on. </p>
<blockquote><p>
The stately home at Hingene was the ‘maison de plaisance’ of the aristocratic d’Ursel family for almost four centuries. Now, it belongs to the Province of Antwerp who has restored the castle to its former glory with passion.</p>
<p>On this festive evening, the grand hall of the castle will once again be transformed into an 18th-century ballroom, replete with flickering candles on the driveway, beautiful costumes, and elegant ladies and gentlemen.</p>
<p>Experienced dancers are welcome but dancing masters Veerle Fack and Ingolf Collmar will also be there to guide the debutants’ first steps. The contredances will be performed live by the early-music ensemble, Ardalus.</p>
<p>To keep you dancing throughout the evening, refreshments will be provided.

It’s not strictly 18th century but from what I understand many people dress up in (among other historical eras) 18th century clothes to go to these events. </p>
<blockquote><p>
The festival program features live music ranging from classical opera to rock ballads, international guests, historical costume fashion shows, dance, puppetry, fencing, performance art, vendors, and ballroom dancing, among other chimerical amusements.
