Windycon Masquerade and Costume programming
OK - just sent my schedule off to Pubs, so here is what we're going to have....
The Costumers Lab will be run much like last year. Deb Kosiba is also doing an Art track which will have some fiber-art workshops and demos as well.
I have the Masquerade entry packets done, and have no idea why they haven't been uploaded to the website yet. If anyone wants one, drop me a line and I'll e-mail it to you. Hall Costume folks can again show off in the Opening Act (and those who sign up in advance will again get reserved seating). We will again have a photographer on Saturday evening for both competitors and hall costumes.
MASQUERADE STAFF
Director – Wendy Zdrodowski
Second – Lisa Hunter
MC – Bob Hollister
Judges – Leman Yuen, Bill Dunbar, Robyn Tisch-Hollister
Friday 6:00 PM FrankenPattern Wendy Zdrodowski
Can’t find the perfect pattern for your planned project? No worries – just find a couple of patterns that are “kind of” what you want, and ‘FrankenPattern” them together! We will touch on some basic methods for adapting commercial patterns, including moving/adjusting seamlines, slash/spread, and combining garments. Try it yourself with scaled-down examples, or just watch full-sized pieces.
Friday 8:00 Painting on Fabric and Leather Allesandra Kelly
Artist Allesandra fuses fine art and fashion with this demo and workshop. Learn some of the techniques and materials you can use to create one-on-a-kind wearables. Hands-on opportunities are available, so stop by to sign up.
Friday 9:00 Basic Stage MakeUp Techniques Lisa Hunter, Wendy Zdrodowski
Learn the basic techniques of theatrical make-up in this hands-on workshop. Participants will work on themselves or on a partner to produce a basic “haunt” face in black and white while learning the basics of highlight and shadow. Participation is limited by supplies available, so be sure to sign up early. We will be using standard commercially-available formulations, and product ingredient listings will be available, but instructors assume no responsibility for any allergies or other reactions. Donations to offset materials costs are welcomed.
Saturday 10:00AM Duct-Tape Doubles Katherine Finegan, Wendy Zdrodowski
PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BRING ONE (1) OLD T-SHIRT AND TWO (2) ROLLS DUCT TAPE .
WE *MAY* HAVE SOME AVAILABLE BUT DON’T COUNT ON IT
Want to make a pattern that is shaped exactly like you are? Or what about making yourself a dress-form that matches your precise shape? Participants will be guided to work in pairs to create a body-form using an ordinary T-shirt and duct tape, and handouts will be available on how to turn these forms into either a custom-fit pattern or a dressmaker’s dummy. Pee *before* you show up.
Saturday 11:00 Finders Keepers Bill Dunbar, Robyn Tisch Hollister, Gail Barber
Sure, you can construct a costume piece with fabric, needle, and thread. But what about bathtub caulk, aluminum mesh, or good old cardboard? Our panelists will discuss materials you may not have thought of as well as unexpected sources for those you have.
Saturday 12:00 Noon My Least-Favorite Fabrics Katherine Finegan, Gail Barber
There are some fabrics that just will not behave, even when you hit them with a rolled-up newspaper. Our panelists will share tips and tricks on how to get stubborn, slippery, or otherwise unmanageable fabrics to sit up and roll over. Don’t sabotage your first project by choosing a difficult fabric.
Saturday 1:00 Bridesmaid Redux Lisa Marie Ogle
Have a bridesmaid or prom dress hanging in your closet that you just want to wear again (or destroy)? It is easy and rewarding to transform these dresses into haute sci-fi couture. Whether it is dismantling a dress to get the optimum use of bodice and skirt panels, making simple alterations to the current gown using only safety pins and the limits of your imagination, to taking your bridal gown out for a 'trash the dress' photoshoot, this panel will show you how to get the most use out of those one-use-only gowns. This is a hands-on panel, with dresses available for your use during the discussion.
Saturday 2:00 Intro to Knitting Bamm Hartmann
All the cool kids are doing it and you’re feeling left out! Learn the basics of knitting so you can be cool too! Limited to 8 people – sign up in advance
Saturday 3:00 Stiff Upper Something Robyn Tisch Hollister, Katherine Finegan, Bill Dunbar
A great costume stands on its own. Or at least parts of it might need to. Learn some ways to get collars, hats, and accessories to take and hold the shape you want.
Saturday 4:00 Masquerade Contestants Meeting/Q&A
Thinking about entering the Masquerade? Or at least showing off a bit on our catwalk? Wonder how those “classes” work, or what ‘pre-judging’ means? Drop by Cypress A with any questions or for some help with your paperwork or discuss any technical issues with the staff. It’s totally optional, but very handy. All competitors must have their paperwork turned in by 5:00 PM. No exceptions.
Sunday 11:00 Sticky Stuff Lisa Hunter, Wendy Zdrodowski, Gail Barber
A bewildering array of adhesives are out there – which one is right for your project? Come learn from our mistakes in this panel. We will have some examples for you to try and help you sort out your options.
