Making Faces

With Halloween a little over a week away, it seemed only natural to have a mask-making workshop. Making Faces: Mask Design Magic debuted during today's Uni Period, attracting those students with a penchant for the paper arts (or with no time to make a full-blown costume). Under the guidance of library assistant Erin, students transformed modest cardstock cut-outs, Modge Podge, tissue paper, and paint into works of art-- mask design magic, indeed!
