Schultz & Wiremu Fabric Effects LTD. Services

Working not only for costume, but also set and props, we have printed or distressed a great deal of heraldic flags, banners, horse cloths , tenting and carpets, and also distressed saddlery and armour.

 We are one of the few companies that takes up the excess of work when in-house dye shops are not able to cope with the quantity of work, or the various technicalities involved. This can range from only one small item, right up to the entire set of 7000 metres of printed and dyed fabrics for 'A Knight's Tale'.

 Having worked with some of the top stage institutions in the United Kingdom, London's West End, The USA and Europe, SCHULTZ & WIREMU FABRIC EFFECTS have been involved in countless stage productions by The Royal Opera House, English National Opera, New York Metropolitan, Houston Ballet, Royal Ballet, The National Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare's Globe, Regents Park Theatre, Glyndebourne Opera and Many many More.
