Creative Mindfulness: Who Am I?

Throughout the day, we wear a multitude of masks, perhaps a professional mask at work and a nurturing mask with loved ones. Masks are all about communication. They have been incorporated into ceremonies, rituals, and plays. They can evoke power and mystery.

 

In this workshop, we will decorate premade masks with paints and collage and, using the metaphor of the mask, consider what we reveal to others and what we conceal from the world. Bring your curiosity and imagination to gain a better understanding of yourself.

 

Acrylic paints: three or four of your favorite colors

Acrylic brush

Magazine or two for collage

Glue or Mod Podge paste

Utility brush for paste

Water

Anything you might want to bring to embellish your mask that can be glued on: glitter, ribbon, etc.

 

This workshop takes place outside, sun protection and water is recommended.
