On December 28 & 29, SteppingStone visited the Saint Paul Public Libraries Arlington Hills and Rice Street branches to lead two mask-making workshops for students ages 6-12 as part of the library’s winter Maker Break program.
During this 2-hour workshop, young artists were encouraged to imagine a creature living deep in a winter forest and design their creatures using a mask base and art materials. They brought their creatures to life using their voices, bodies, and imaginations in guided creative drama explorations.
SteppingStone is regularly invited to join the Saint Paul Public Libraries in their Winter, Spring, and Summer Maker Break series where we offer workshops in music, movement, comedy, mask-making, makeup design, stage combat, play creation, and more. Saint Paul Public Libraries offers Maker Break workshops free of charge, with no advanced registration, and all young people are welcome to attend.
