A hands-on workshop where participants can decorate their own spooky Halloween masks using paints, markers, glue, feathers and glitter.
Cherry Street Pier is hosting a mask-decorating workshop on Friday, October 30, just a few days before Halloween. It's a straightforward, hands-on session: you get a blank mask and a table full of supplies to turn it into something spooky. The materials they're putting out include paints, markers, glue, feathers and glitter, so you can go as subtle or as over-the-top as you want. If you're not the type to spend hours on a costume, this is a way to knock out your Halloween look in a single evening.
The workshop runs from 6 PM to 8 PM, which is a good window to actually finish what you start. You're not just painting a surface, either—the feathers and glitter mean you can add texture and a bit of flash, and the glue lets you build things up rather than just coloring in. It's the kind of thing that works as well for a kid's project as it does for someone who wants to spend a couple of hours getting a detail right.

Ms. Amy is leading the session, and it's held in Studio 4&7 at the pier. The full address is 121 N. Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19106. Since it's on the 30th, you'll have your mask ready and dried well before Halloween night. It runs from 6 PM to 8 PM on Friday, October 30.
