This is a mask making workshop inspired by traditional mummers masks. Make a lightweight mask to take away. Using an easy technique that combines chicken-wire, brown tape, wool, natural fabrics and found materials, I will show you how to make lightweight, flexible masks. Mask makers will be using glue guns, sewing, free felting, hand tools and other techniques. Put together a mask that you can use in your own performance or just for fun. The workshops are inspired by traditional mummers masks from the UK and Eastern Europe. We will be using some good quality supplies - wool roving from World of Wool and yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners. Plus vintage faux fur and vintage notions.

With has thirty years of experience making head dresses and masks, my creative journey began in Brighton, where I spent ten years making headdresses for the legendary Vavavavoom Burlesque club and Theatre of Fur. I now makes masks and costumes for the Hognutters Mummers, a Sussex based folk performance group.
