Jo Drysdall began making corsets more than ten years ago. What started as a foray down a side-path in her historical research and costuming soon became a passion. In the intervening years she has researched and experimented, refining her corset-making skills and techniques to produce corsets that are strong, beautiful and as individual as their wearers. Each piece she creates is one of a kind, born of her skills and experience and the unique personalities and desires of her clients.
Jo draws her designs from throughout history, from the Elizabethan period to the beginning of the 20th century. Her corsets range from exacting historical replicas to modern formal wear, wearable arts and fetish/fantasy interpretations. In February 2006 she staged an exhibition of her work entitled \\\"Body Construct\\\" at The Christchurch Arts Centre, which attracted more than 3000 visitors. This year she displayed work at Christchurch\\\'s Gothic Masquerade Ball, and is currently exhibiting corsets around the Christchurch City Libraries\\\' network. Her work will also be on display at the annual Gothic Punk Exhibition at Our City O-Tautahi (cnr Worcester Blvd and Oxford Tce), beginning 19 November.
