APRIL 2017
Join an intimate group of artists for 2 unique 3 Day Mask Arts Intensive Workshops in Tucson, Arizona this spring at Circle Studio with renowned mask artist Lauren Raine MFA.
In this workshop we'll draw on our mythic imaginations as we explore ways to invoke the "Archetypal Powers" as we learn how to make durable theatrical masks from our own faces. We will explore masks as "vessels for our stories", and share ways to use masks for storytelling, ritual, community performance and personal exploration. You take home the means to continue the work.
Housing is also available for just $50.00, but reserve early.

MASK AND MYTH
The Way of the Mask
April 14 - 16, 2016 - men and women
$200.00.
Introduction and check in begins Friday evening, and Workshop ends at Noon with a potluck lunch on Sunday. Although masks can be experienced as art objects, by their very nature they are active rather than passive, inviting gesture, narrative, and collaboration. Is there a Persona that awaits a face, a story, a voice? Creating a mask is a way to open the conversation. We'll learn:
· To sculpt masks from our faces, creating leather and mixed media professional masks or sculpture.
· Explore personally significant stories of mythic Archetypes.
· Discuss approaches to masks for performance, community, educational purposes or personal exploration.

SUMMER 2017
MASK ARTS: MYTHS, PORTRAIT AND MORE
JULY 21-25, 2017
at Peters Valley School of Craft
Tuition: $595 (lunch is included)
Studio/Materials Fee: $45
Although masks are works of art, they are also by their nature interactive. As "vessels for our stories" they often seem to invite collaboration. In this intensive workshop we’ll draw on our mythic imaginations as we learn to make masks and leather sculpture. Is there a Persona that awaits a face, a story? Participants will learn to sculpt from their own faces, creating durable theatrical masks and artwork. The mask or sculpture is created from different grades of vegetable tanned leather, which is shaped when wet, dried, stiffened, set with latex enamel, then painted and embellished. We will also touch on masks for personal iconography, portraiture, storytelling, educational purposes, and even community performance. No experience is necessary, and you take home the means to continue the investigation. Beginner and Beyond.
