The
McHenry County College Clay Club and Student Veterans of America invite all
area veterans, reservists and members of the National Guard to “Unmasked,” a
mask-making workshop beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 11. The event will
take place in the Clay Studio, Room A145.
Participants
will build their own personal masks and will receive one-one-one guidance from
experienced clay arts practitioners. Participants will learn surface altering
and glazing techniques to decorate the surfaces. Clay-making demonstrations and
discussions will also be included.
“The
creative process of mask-making gives veterans and service members a format to
express themselves in a new way,” said retired Air Force technical sergeant
Kati Beck, president of MCC’s chapter of Student Veterans of America. This
event was inspired by a recent National Geographic article: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/healing-soldiers/index.html
and the images pictured with veterans.
The
event is free for veterans and includes lunch, tools and supplies. Donations to
the Student Veterans of America are welcome. Space is limited. Register by
April 4 in the Student Veterans Resource Center, Room C122 or in the Student
Life Office, Room A252.
For
more information, contact the Student Life Office at (815) 455-8550.
