ARCHITECTURE: Create an Elegant Roman House
Ancient Rome was famous in its time for vast and elaborate public bath houses. Built using millions of terracotta bricks, these buildings featured fine mosaic floors, decorative statues, and marble walls. Join artist Laurie Witzkowski to make a model of your own Roman bath house, and create a calming bath infusion from herbs.
PUPPETRY: Toy Theater & Tall Tales
Gods and goddesses, monsters and minotaurs! Learn some of the most famous stories of Greek and Roman mythology from Julie Boada. Then create a toy theater stage and puppets to retell your favorite tall tale, and perform it for your friends and family!
MASKS: Carnival Follies
Since the middle ages, the celebration of Carnival in February has been a chance to don a disguise and dance in the streets. Roman masks are famous for their fanciful designs and sparkle. Artist Gustavo Boada will share some of the traditions and designs of this most colorful holiday of the Roman calendar. Then create your own gorgeous mask for future celebrations.
