Learn how makers known as the Fernside Dragons create giant inflatable decorations and costumes. Through a lot of trial and error they have become masters of the craft. Starting with the right fabric (with the right coating), the designs are laser cut and sewn together. Via Adam Savage’s Tested on YouTube:
Adam welcomes Megan Gardner and Taylor Pope–aka Fernside Dragons–to the cave to check out a selection of their incredible inflatable characters and costumes! Megan and Taylor started designing and fabricating inflatable sculptures during lockdown, and show Adam their techniques for making complex shapes and creatures come alive and fill up the cave!
