Lutavia
I’m a nonbinary cosplay educator and maker with chronic illness from Texas, fueled by a passion for helping cosplayers craft their dream costumes. As a trained technical educator, I teach budding cosplayers both online and off that there’s no greater joy in cosplay than to make something you love. I’ve created hundreds of educational resources such as tutorials, build logs, panels, hands-on workshops, and more, including teaching at cons as a judge and guest. I’ve even worked with brands like Dharma Trading Co., Alumilite, and Cosplay Supplies to teach how to use everything from silicone to fiber reactive dye, online and off.
My specialty is in mixed media designs, ranging from 3D printed props and molded and cast armor, to needlework with a rainbow of dye techniques and weathering. However, my true passion lies in making cosplay crafting accessible at any scale for any design, from managing cost constraints and time to working with chronic illness or a full time job.
If you need a mixed-media focused guest or judge with an expertise in education and accessible cosplay crafting, check out my press kit!
