No art experience needed! All skill levels welcome. Includes all art supplies. Held in Downtown Toronto.
Come explore your inner wise self, through mask creation and expressive arts. We all wear masks from time to time changing them depending on the situation, the environment we find ourselves in and the people we are surrounded by. The masks reflect the many roles we take on with family, friends, colleagues and strangers, each serving a purpose. Sometimes however, these masks can hold us back from our full potential, keeping us stuck in roles that we have outgrown. In this workshop we will explore some of the masks we wear that get in our way of moving forward in our lives and begin to uncover the authentic self.
