Creative Development Series: Make Your Halloween Glow!

Creative Development Series: Make Your Halloween Glow! is a hands-on workshop for creating a light-up Halloween costume, wearable item, or mask. Participants can begin with clothing or a traditional paper-bag mask, then decorate it with easy-to-use electroluminescent wire or learn to build their own lighting with copper tape. Materials and instruction are provided, and no electronics experience is needed.

The event is part of a creative collaboration involving the Institute for Creative, Arts, and Technology at Virginia Tech, Expressions at Amazon Arlington, and the City of Alexandria’s Office of the Arts.
