Hands-on introductory Masque-making using simple masque shapes made from paper, foam craft board, and/or pre-made masque forms (if any people wish, they are certainly welcome to bring one of their own, purchased from a craft store - Michaels has a few). A few basic templates will be provided, as well as paper, some coloured construction paper, and some foam board; free-hand forms can also be created.

*Some* basic decorating items will also be provided: craft paint, glitter glue, powder glitter, some sequins, white glue, glue sticks, scissors, chopsticks; one hot glue gun will also be on hand.

Participants are encouraged to bring:
your own scissors and glue sticks, craft knives, etc.
decorative items like: sequins and 'jewels'; lace pieces and trims; ribbons; feathers; craft, fabric, and/or puff paints; cardstock in your chosen colour(s) or pre-made masque form.

A handout with some quick background and history, plus samples and images to study will be available for an additional $1, or it can be emailed to you after the class.

== Pomanders and Satchets == 
2:45 - 4pm
$2
Intro to (Period) Pomanders and Cloven Fruit

Some quick background and history, plus one sample of each: clove-studded orange, and spice-filled sachet. We'll be doing a hands-on creation of a ribbon-wrapped clove-studded orange. Also, for anyone who finishes that in time, grinding fragrant 'sweet' spices (with electric spice grinder, and mortar-and-pestle) to fill satin sachets, and tie with ribbon.

Oranges, cloves, and ribbon will be provided for the Pomanders; sachet bags, spices, and ribbon will also be provided, along with puncturing tools (skewers), scissors, and straight pins for anchoring ribbon.



Thank you,

Cunegonda
