Transformational Mask Making: Expressions of Spirit
The Center at Saint Andrews, Seattle April 18, 25, May 2, 9, 16, 2012 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
In this five-week, fun experiential mask-making workshop, we will explore the use of masks for transformation and expression of Spirit. We will work in sacred space in the tradition of ceremonial mask makers throughout the ages. In the first week of the workshop, we will learn about the tradition of mask making in Africa, North America, and throughout the world. In the remaining weeks, participants will be invited to be creative in designing and making a mask of their own. We will use plaster casting material, paint, fine papers, natural materials, wool, fabric and other materials that participants wish to work with. In the final session, we will bring our masks alive and give them voice through ritual and ceremony, including a parade of masks inspired by the concurrent drumming class.
