'Feral Beings'- Mask Making Workshops with Artists Jenni Dutton and Catherine Heard

Feral Beings Mask Making

Saturday 21st March 2026

10am - 3pm

Watchet Community Centre, Watchet Memorial Ground

For ages 16 and over

Join us for a day of making papier mache masks of your favourite ‘Feral Being’ in a workshop to celebrate the beings we share our home with, led by artists Jenni Dutton and Catherine Heard. This could include an animal, plant, fungi, landscape feature or even a mythological creature.

The day will be focused on making the cardboard base and papier mache form. There will be later sessions to decorate your mask on the evenings of Monday 13th April and Monday 27th April at East Quay. Please bring a packed lunch and clothes appropriate for messy play! 

In order to help you decide which being you would like to make a mask of, you are welcome to take ‘prompt cards’ from the reception at East Quay and take part in further activities in a project called ‘Community of Beings’ by the Understory Team at Onion Collective. These include a session on network mapping, a masked dance at May Day and a procession later in the year. For more information click here
