Fantasy to Fabric: Cosplay 101 (Age 12-17)
Youth Education

Cosplay is the art of playing with clothing and props to represent characters from books, film, games, and more. If you love Halloween, science fiction or fantasy media, video games, or playing pretend, you'll find cosplay to be a fun and expressive activity. Cosplaying is open to everyone--all ages, abilities, body types, genders, and interest groups are welcome in the cosplay community! You don't need expensive tools or knowledge of sewing/crafting to be able to cosplay. Join us to learn the basics of cosplay design and creation and leave with your own, handmade cosplay prop and the knowledge you need to try out your own costume designs. Students will all work on the same type of cosplay prop, putting their own creative take on it.
