Halloween Mixed-Media Mask Workshop

Adult Workshop | Registration opens 8/6/2025 8:00 PM EDT

Using paper pulp masks as a base, add paper and mixed-media collage materials to create a custom mask to wear for Halloween or hang on display. Students can add color and dimension by drawing, painting, and by cutting and assembling various colored and textured papers, photos, text, images, and printed ephemera. Masks can be further embellished with paint, markers, crayons, pencils, stamps, thread, fabric, lace, ribbon, and 3D objects. Paper cutting, curling, and layering techniques, plus adhesive and sealing methods will be demonstrated. Teacher will provide a guide suggesting various themes, characters, and approaches to consider. All materials and tools will be provided, but students may bring photos or other meaningful items to incorporate into their projects. Parents welcome to attend, must register individually.

  • Please email aseneco@guilfordartcenter.org upon registration with your mask size! (Adult or child)

I have been a long-time professor at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, introducing undergraduate and continuing education students to all aspects of toy and game design and marketing in my Toys and Games courses, even teaching three semesters online via Zoom during the pandemic. I started my design career as an independent inventor, collaborating with many toy and game companies in multiple product categories, including novelty books, magic, and gift items. After completing my most recent roles as a corporate marketing creative director and as an award-winning senior art director of K–12 educational programs, I’ve started sharing my knowledge and passions with a wider group of students beyond university. My personal projects include drawing, mixed media collaging, soft toys, and jewelry making.
