The pagan celebration of Beltane marks a time of fertility, abundance and creative power, coming out of the dark months of winter and traditionally a potent time for nature rituals and manifesting for the year ahead.
With this mask making workshop we will guide you to create your unique creature, exploring a new side of yourself through masquerade.
You will first design and sketch your character before using papier-mâché to create the frame of your mask. Honouring the land and the tide of spring, harvested flowers, shrubs, and herbs will be brought in abundance to decorate your new creation. No previous experience is necessary, and help will be always at hand.
Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to bring along anything which may inspire you that you wish to incorporate into your design, be it foraged, found, or fashioned especially for the occasion.

You will have a final piece by the end of the course.

☾ A bit about me:
I am Lupa, a multidisciplinary artist and maker, born in Rome as Lucrezia Chiarle.
When it comes to artistic expression, I have a view never to restrict myself to a single medium. My ideas manifest organically through the many different techniques that I have trained with, including theatre making, craft, tattoo, performance art, and music. I use my art to explore my interests and inspiration, often stemming from nature, folklore and magic.

This unconstrained approach to creativity is my driving force. I believe in the infinite possibilities of art practice as a form of self discovery, collective therapy, strengthening communities, as well as opening portals into different realms and the subconscious. My intention is to share this philosophy with others through my creations.
