The Carving Studio presents a mask decorating workshop

Saturday, Oct. 10 at 2 p.m.—WEST RUTLAND—The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center is pleased to collaborate with Masks4Missions and Vermont fabric artist Bonny Dutton to present a special mask decorating workshop on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 2-4 p.m. There is no fee to participate, all materials will be provided, and the workshop will be held outdoors. To maintain safety, there are limited openings in two one-hour sessions.

To reserve a spot in the workshop, please contact the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center by e-mail to info@carvingstudio.org (E-mail only, no telephone or Facebook). The sessions will be held on the deck of the building at 636 Marble St. in West Rutland; please dress appropriately.

Vermont’s Legislature passed H.C.R.337 designating Oct. 6, 2020, as Vermont Mask Day. The initiative was led by Masks4Missions, a non-profit organization that partners with other Vermont non-profits to create fun-to-wear decorated masks.

A youth-led and youth-centric organization, Masks4Missions is a collaboration of Vermont’s schools, colleges, non-profits, and businesses all coming together with a shared goal of keeping Vermont safe. Covid-19 threatens not only Vermonters’ health, but also our connections to each other and our community. Masks have the potential to save lives, but to do that, masks must be used. Masks4Missions believes that masks dressed with fun and colorful images will be worn more often.
