About this Event
Difficulty Rating = 5 out of 10 (There are a few fiddly bits and pieces, but its a pretty forgiving project)
There is no required level of artistic talent or training needed, but you must have a very delicate touch and a complex puzzle-solving level of patience.
The Mothman: An Inter-Dimensional Cut Paper Monster-Making Workshop is an entertaining, hands-on art experience that blends folklore, immersive theater, and guided paper crafting into one unforgettable event. Led by the unhinged Professor Doctor Von Weirdo and his assistant Brian, participants create a richly layered blacklight reactive cut-paper Mothman artwork step by step; no prior art experience required.
In this 2-hour interactive workshop, guests learn the true story of the Mothman legend while assembling a striking blacklight reactive mixed-media paper monster using precision-cut pieces, glue techniques, and design layering. Expect campy humor, melodramatic theatrical storytelling, over-the-top sound effects, ridiculously intense music, and plenty of historical tragedy, as you layer bridge parts, claws, wings, antennae, and demonic eyes into a finished piece you’ll be proud to display.
Perfect for art lovers, folklore fans, creative workshop lovers, and unique activity enthusiasts, this Mothman art class is equal parts craft lab, performance, and monster-making celebration. Leave with a completed artwork and a deeper love of weird folklore!
You will be working with Elmer's glue and card stock for this experience. Everything is nontoxic, and all materials will be provided.
Some of the pieces are delicate, and you will be operating with tweezers on some small, intricate pieces, so a light touch with dexterous, nimble fingers is recommended.
Because of the fragile nature of some of the pieces and and patience needed to complete the steps of this workshop, it is not recommended for children under 13. However, if you feel your child has what it takes to sit through a 2 hours weird art project, then by all means, let’s do it! Please note, that refunds are only provided up to a day before the event date, no refunds will be given if you or your child cancel on the day of the event.
No minors should be left unaccompanied during the event.
ATTN: This workshop experience will have some loud noises, flashing lights, blacklights, laser lights, campy cheeseball humor, and weirdos. If you think any of these might be problematic, you may want to skip this one.
