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:

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.
