Instructor: Courtney Pippin-Mathur

Date/Time: Saturdays, March 22 & March 29, 10am-1pm

Cost: $25/child

Class size: 4-12 participants

(Register by midnight on March 19)

Do you love fairy tales? Create your own fairy-tale inspired character to hang up in your room. Let your imagination run wild, from heroes who are scared, to damsels who don’t care, villains who love jelly beans, monsters who want to help and everything in between!

Bring your favorite fairy tale character ideas to get started right away. We use cardboard, paper mache and paint, so come prepared to get messy.

On day 1, you will design your fairy tale character and create your design into a paper mache wall piece. Paper mache takes a few days to dry so you will come back on the 2nd date to paint and finalize your wall piece. The sessions are three hours each, but some students might finish early. Students must be accompanied by an adult who can assist with cutting cardboard. (Only the student needs to register; there is no fee for assisting adults.)

The hands-on activity is for participants’ ages 9-15 years old. Family members are welcome to attend, listen, and learn. Please contact the Youth Programs Director at youth@delrayartisans.org with any questions.

This workshop is held in conjunction with the Fairy Tales Around the World art exhibit.
