What’s in store this Halloween

For four days, young artists will conjure creatures, stories, and animations that blur the line between myth and mischief, all while celebrating the ancient Irish festival of Samhain and the playful spookiness of Halloween.

Day 1 – Pagan Samhain Masks & Penny Dreadful Comics

We begin with myth and ritual. Students design and sculpt masks worthy of an ancient forest ceremony, while also creating their own Book of the Dead — pages left overnight to “age a thousand years.”

Day 2 – Finishing the Masks & Ancient Pages

Masks are painted and finished, the aged pages are bound, and stories begin to take shape. The workshop fills with eerie colour and texture as each creation takes on a life of its own.

Day 3 – Compendiums of Creeping Things

Here, the imagination truly runs wild. Students invent their own creeping creatures and write their ghastly tales, building a compendium of monsters and myths to carry into Halloween.

Day 4 – Flash Scare Animations

On Halloween itself, the camps come alive with short, spine-tingling animations. A mix of art, storytelling, and digital play, these projects capture the thrill of a scare — just enough to raise a smile as well as a shiver.
