In preparation for Hambidge's big Art Auction and Masquerade on October 26th at Uptown, we’re exploring the many ways to make a creative mask by holding a series of Mask-Making Fun Labs.
Come on over to Bella Cucina in Buckhead on October 1st for some nibbles, sips, and mask-crafting fun! In this hands-on lab, Dayna Thacker and Susan Ker-Seymer will show you some basic ink drawing & painting skills, then help you apply those to your mask. We’ll get more creative by adding sculptural headdresses, floral embellishments, and glitzy glittery accents to create a one-of-a-kind party mask for you to take home.
Don’t forget to get your tickets for the October 26th Hambidge Art Auction & Masquerade! (On sale beginning September 16.)
This Mask-Making Fun Lab is FREE with Registration.
