Saturday October 16: Paper-mash masks # 2

Session number 2 with the paper-mash masks making. This time for painting them!
This time around there were more participants. Actually, the new students, who arrived thrilled to make their own mask, could not be exactly (or technically) classified as children, considering their age. But why limit our workshop because of that? After all, we're all children...  And besides, our grown-ups can go home and show the kids (or even Dad) how to do it.




Everyone chose the shape to give to their mask. Our endlessly distracted mum, more concentrated on chatting than listening to the instructions, found herself painting before even cutting the holes for the eyes, nose and mouth!



From 1 to 3 pm we had a lot of fun, creating, laughing, enjoying our work.
Kids liked the painting phase a lot. They love getting dirty with colors.


Our masks now have a shape and they're ready to be worn for Halloween!
Will our talented handicraft makers turn into monsters?




In the following session we'll let new participants play together: we'll have Polish and Iranian children learn some of the innumerable ways of not wasting, and re-using things!
