This workshop will let the girls explore the use of paper mache and will let them use their own creative abilities to create unique Venetian inspired party masks. This workshop will allow the girls to work in a sculptural medium and introduce them to thinking 3-dimensinally rather than just 2-dimensionally. The girls will use paper mache to mold the form of the mask and will then decorate it using acrylic paints, gauche, glazes, and/or decoupage. The masks will serve as a fun activity that can be used later on for Halloween or as something decorative to hang on the wall. Masks created at this event may be placed on display at Spark Contemporary Art Space Studio in Syracuse and returned to the girls in late August.

The great thing about learning how to bind books is being able to make your own journals, sketchbooks, and gifts for others. Books can be made out of anything, ranging from things as traditional as paper to as untraditional as a cereal box. This workshop will teach the girls traditional Japanese binding techniques in order to create their own hand made journals. The project will teach the girls basic sewing techniques as well as delicate craftsmanship.
