Costume Makers Lab: Fantasy Horns and Headpieces

Ages 13 and over. Create fantasy-inspired horns, headpieces or costume accessories. Learn how to make a simple base using wire, paper and foil then shape and sculpt your design with air-dry clay.

The focus is on exploring the creative process from an idea and basic structure to a finished costume accessory, rather than creating a complex or fully finished costume.

Materials: All materials are provided.

Registration: Registration opens September 24, 2026 at 1:00 PM.

Important Note: Participants must be 13 years of age or older. Registrations for participants under 13 will be cancelled.

We are offering this creative learning opportunity in two different sessions with different themes. If the October session time or theme does not work for you then you're welcome to join the November session instead.
