Sharie"s Studio Journal





























Days and counting here are some photos of kids and parents and grandparents making masks this past Saturday. Clare Gonzales provided samples and instruction for making paper masks. The kids had a great time and I'm pretty sure I saw parents laughing and trying on masks as they assisted their children in the creation of masks. Don't dispair there are a few days left so come on in to the studio there are puppets to be repaired and made ready for the "Big Day", labels to be put on bottles of water and signs to be made and given fresh paint. You can still do your own art too. Come on and join the fun and there is one more night to learn the steps for the Samba Dancers to lead the Parade.
We also had a family here for the weekend from out of town join in the mask making.

Artmaking at Summerfest 2009

albuquerque summerfest 2009
OFFCenter will host a free artmaking booth during Albuquerque Summerfest 2009, with unique take-home and collaborative art activities each night.

Saturday evening was Cajun night, and we guided many new friends in mask making, bead stringing, hair beading and making shakers to dance to that Zydeco beat! We might have done a little dancing ourselves!

Pictured here are a couple of happy mask making friends.
