POSTPONED: Makers' Masquerade

DUE TO THE BUSY HOLIDAY SEASON, WE HAVE DECIDED TO RESCHEDULE THE MAKERS' MASQUERADE AT A LATER DATE. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, BUT WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU NEXT YEAR!

Create a masquerade mask adorned with lights, contribute to a community art installation and meet Dalek Clara, a life-sized robotic replica of a character from "Dr. Who" at the Maker's Masquerade. The all-ages party will feature materials and instruction for light-up mask-making, refreshments, raffles and the music of Tim Scallon.

Attendees are invited to dress in their favorite handmade attire, or create something new. A selection of items will be available to fabricate or decorate a mask, belt, tunic or other costume pieces that guests bring. Makers from Jigsaw Renaissance will show party-goers how to make a very simple circuit using LEDs and aluminum tape, so guests can add a few holiday lights to their ensemble, or to a community art installations being created through the evening.

Fundraising raffles for maker-oriented prizes, refreshments and the music of Tim Scallon will add to the festive environment and atmosphere. Robotics enthusiasts and sci-fi fans will enjoy mingling with special guest Dalek Clara, a life-sized remote-controlled replica of the robot made famous in "Dr. Who," built by Seattle maker Shaylee Bell.
