WORKSHOP

Make A Funky Face Mask with Weng Pixin

Hey kids! Do you enjoy making crafts? Join us as you will learn basic sewing techniques and create a funky face mask using felt.

The workshop takes inspiration from The Mask Project by Nonzuzo Gxekwa and Pierre Le Riche, featured in Hope from Chaos: Pandemic Reflections. In this 1-hour workshop, Weng Pixin will guide you in making a funky face mask with easy-to-follow steps.

This workshop is offered as part of our education programme for Hope from Chaos: Pandemic Reflections during the mid-year school holidays.

*Please note that face masks made in this workshop are strictly for the purposes of art only.
