African masks are key to African storytelling. In this 45-minute making workshop, Jacqui du Toit will lead participants in designing and creating their own African masks inspired by the Anansi the Spider story. These masks will be crafted using recycled paper and material. Makers will also learn how to bring their masks to life through storytelling so you can tell Anansi’s tale to your loved ones!
This workshop has limited capacity, so we recommend registering in advance to secure your spot. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
