Develop your rockstar alter ego in Head Bangers with experimental drag trio Toxic Waste Face. In the October 8 workshop, participants use one-of-a-kind materials to paint and embellish a clay mask hand-sculpted by Toxic Waste Face members. ⁠You then get to take your mask home, so you can use it to inspire your Halloween costume! All materials are included and all experience levels are welcome. ⁠

Bay Area drag performance trio Toxic Waste Face, known for their bold explorations of gender, caricature, and social performance, leads an interactive mask-making workshop on color and identity. Participants receive a personal, hand-sculpted mask, designed and fabricated by the artists, along with a single-word prompt to inspire the development of an original character. From there, participants access a treasury of unique, hand-picked crafting materials to bring their characters to life. The workshop includes “head-banging” music and culminates with a concept presentation and informal activation. 

Workshop is open to participants ages 18 and up. All experience levels are welcome and all materials are included.
