| In
a time of immediacy, literalism and disconnectedness masks and stories provide us with an opportunity to explore our world and ourselves in a fun, ancient and powerful way. They permit us to flex our imaginative muscles, rehearse what might be and experience what is, in a unique way |

In
this workshop the ancient traditions of Masking and Storytelling will
be used as
tools to explore facets of ourselves in a safe and supportive environment. Masks can conceal and protect, as well as reveal and enlighten. We'll create our masks, off a provided lightweight base, with fabric, wool fibre, paint and found materials using a variety of your chosen techniques. We'll also honour the masks by building and enacting their stories. |

Beginning
with flat felt that you'll create, we'll begin to 'see' features appear
as we work.
We'll use a face 'form' to shape the mask and the felting needle with additional fibre if we need more definition. (It would be helpful if you have taken Felt Fundamentals 1 and 2 from the Technique Treats! Workshops). Time will be given to writing and telling your mask's story. |
