Paper Mache Animals

In this hands-on workshop, teen artists will design and build their own paper mache animals from jungle creatures and ocean friends to imaginary beasts straight from their imagination. Starting with a simple armature (a base shape made from recycled materials), children will learn how to build a structure for the animal followed by layers of paper mâché. Once dry, the animals will be brought to life with detailed faces and colored bodies.  Register by 1/6.
