Edek Thompson is an artist with one foot in the apocalypse, well actually several feet, mostly webbed and at the end of super long legs to deal with the rising tides of climate change. His work is a humorous take on a serious subject. Ed invites you to join him at BasementArtsProject and imagine a post-climate change environment in which humans and animals have evolved to deal with their new circumstances.
In this session you'll create your very own animal themed mask - this could be used for a theatrical project, as home decor, or just as a skill building exercise.
Tracy, will guide you in how to build up and sculpt facial features beginning with a plain mask. Using predominaly recycled and sustainable materials, your animal will begin to take shape. You will then get the opportunity to refine it using papermache.
This session is ideal for those who are interested in 3D construction, theatre work or puppetry - or if you just want to have a go at something creative!
