Join artist Melissa Hewitt of Mystic Masque for an opportunity to step into the ancient art of mask-making. Melissa will share her process of transforming raw leather into sculpted, wearable works of art.

In this immersive workshop you will:

• Choose from one these designs — crow/raven, owl, bat, fox, wolf, skull, tree, or bear.

• Begin with a pre-cut leather mask form, ready to paint and sculpt into shape.

• Learn Melissa’s techniques for wetting, molding, and finishing leather so that it fits comfortably to your face.

• Call in the essence of your chosen animal spirit, infusing your mask with intention and presence as you bring it to life.

• Complete your own wearable mask to take home by the end of the day.

This workshop is more than a craft — it’s a creative and spiritual journey, connecting you with the magic of transformation!

No prior experience required; all materials provided.
