Small Vejigante mask making

Vejigante history and Art Culture ~
 
Cost: $15.00 INCLUDES ALL SUPPLIES
 
*** MUST BRING AN APRON TO PROTECT CLOTHING ***
 

A vejigante is a folkloric character in Puerto Rican festival celebrations (mainly seen in Carnival time). Traditional colors of the Vejigantes were black, red, white, and yellow. Today, vejigantes wear brightly colored, ornate masks of all colors and a costume with bat-like wings. The term vejigante derives from the word vejiga (bladder) and gigante (giant), due to custom of blowing up and painting cow bladders. The masks are often linked to many festivals that continue today, especially in Loíza and Ponce.

We will discuss the history of the Vejigante masks and create one of our very own to be displayed as a piece of art.
