This immersive 12-hour program is designed for adults looking for professional development or an impactful art experience. It invites creative and personal exploration in a friendly, supportive community. Participants make a self-portrait-based puppet -mask which becomes a ‘nuanced artifact resulting in an amazing legacy project’. Guided by our artist-facilitator and using a basic mask form, paper, paint and ephemera, we reflect, we craft, we discover our metaphors, we gain skills and we have fun. The project concludes with the (optional) opportunity to video a performative reflection, authenticating the experience.
“The experience brought me joy and poignancy as I (re) discovered aspects of myself… it provided a time capsule of when and where I was at the moment”
