Papier Mache Masks
You... but reimagined!
Transform toilet paper and glue into wearable art! This hands-on craft lets you sculpt expressive masks using simple materials—toilet paper, corn starch and glue. Mold your creation over a balloon or face form, then paint and decorate once dry. Who will you become? A wild animal, a monster, your favourite character, the only limit is your imagination.
1 Your Guide
I'm an artist, a speculative-fiction writer, tiny-home dweller, mediocre ukulele player, and a true believer that you can figure out how to make anything you can dream up. Most days, I can be found slinging some mud around on my pottery wheel and trying (and sometimes failing) to prevent my new puppy from chewing on absolutely everything. In addition to my degree in education, I have a bachelors of fine arts and I love volunteering at my local literacy organization! I speak a little German from my time living in Berlin (where I led a weekly STEM club for learners) and I believe every subject in school should be guided through the lens of Art.
I strive to live as sustainably and off-grid as I can. My big dream is to move into a tiny, off-grid, cabin in the forest to make pots all day, especially if I can have a couple of goats (maybe even tiny goats!)
