Maskerade!
Step into a world of Georgian elegance, intrigue and playful disguise in this creative mask-making workshop with Lauren Saunders.
Inspired by the extravagant masked balls of the eighteenth century, this creative workshop offers the opportunity to design and decorate your own masquerade mask using lace, ribbons, metallic embellishments and other carefully selected sustainable materials. Drawing on the colours and styles favoured by Georgian high society, you'll create a unique piece worthy of a candlelit ballroom!
This workshop accompanies the visit of writer and historian Meghan Kobza, author of The Masquerade: A History of Extravagance and Intrigue, which explores the fascinating world of masquerades from their origins to their place in society, politics and popular culture. So whether you're a history enthusiast, a lover of costume and theatre, or simply looking for a creative afternoon... join us to discover the glamour, mystery and artistry of the Georgian masquerade.
