MayDay Public Workshops
Help build the puppets for the parade!
During the month of April, our building is transformed
into a giant studio where staff artists and volunteers create the MayDay
Parade.
Workshops are free and open to the public.
The 2008 MayDay Workshops have ended.
The first MayDay 2009 Workshop will occur on Saturday, April 4, 2009
at 9 am.
How it Works:
- An artist will introduce you to the parade theme by showing you
the giant storyboard (a visual script).
- You select a section of the parade to work on, find the artist
in charge of that section, and set to work!
- Artists will guide you.
- You can either make your own creation which you can keep after
the parade, or help with the larger parade floats.
- Typically, you'll need 3 or 4 sessions to complete a project,
but you can come to as many or as few as your schedule allows.
Other Details:
- Workshops are Free.
- Donations graciously accepted, always welcome, and much needed.
- Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
- Wear "painting" clothes.
- Bring recycled items (if you can): small plastic tubs with
lids, brown paper bags, newspapers, fabric, sheets, latex paint,
bamboo, scissors.
- No reservations required. Just Come!
