Join artist and musician Mike Sullivan for a hands-on maker’s workshop focused on creating masks, headpieces, and accessories for this year’s Flora + Fauna of Beech Forest fashion show.
The session will begin with a live demonstration on mask-making and mold techniques, followed by time and space for participants to begin crafting their own pieces. Whether you're envisioning a dramatic headpiece, an abstract mask, or intricate accessories, this is a chance to develop work that complements your look for the show.
We’ll provide a wide range of materials—from natural elements to decorative and found objects—and welcome your creativity, experimentation, and bold ideas. Mike will be on hand throughout the session to guide, inspire, and support your creative process.
We’re also planning a follow-up workshop closer to the show in August, where participants can return to continue building their creations—especially those incorporating birds and more elaborate designs.
“Masks are a means by which human groupings attempt to communicate their dignity and sense of purpose.”
– Gary Edson, Masks and Masking
