Step into the world of contemporary art by becoming a living masterpiece! In this dynamic workshop, we explore creativity by making fantastical masks and costumes using a mix of materials. From paper mâché to textured fabrics—and even everyday items like cardboard—we experiment, invent, and let our imaginations run wild. Along the way, we learn basic sewing and mending techniques to bring our wearable art to life. The week ends with a dazzling Friday runway show, where we proudly showcase our creations for friends and family!

In this colorful, high-energy workshop, we explore the transformative power of art! Inspired by American sculptor, performance artist, and dancer Nick Cave, we combine visual art, sculpture, sound, movement, and storytelling into a week-long creative adventure. We play with color and texture through collage, drawing, painting, and sculpture. Using imagination and a variety of recycled materials, we design and build our own mixed-media wearable art pieces inspired by Cave’s Soundsuits. This workshop celebrates creativity, self-expression, and joy. The week culminates with an exhibition and a live presentation, where we showcase our wearable art for parents and families to enjoy!
