This month, join HCCC to craft a mask using a variety of materials. Participants will personalize and embellish their masks with paints, markers, decorative papers, feathers, fur, and more. Use your wearable mask for storytelling, Halloween, or a theatrical performance. Experiment with a variety of mediums and materials through this expressive and open-ended project.

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month. Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Families and children of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15 – 20-minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product, and history of craft. Learn more here.
