About the Session

About the Session

Join celebrated artists Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro for a high-energy dive into polyhedral mask-making where sculpture and clothing collide. Engineer a bold cardboard mask, then elevate it with traditional art materials—and a mystery medium unveiled on the day.

Explore how masks navigate the space between individual identity and the social systems that shape us. Walk away wearing your expressive creations that inspire critical thinking, collaboration and playful making.
