Camp Cosplay

Brings together costume design, prop construction and character performance. Campers are invited to bring an in-progress cosplay or start work on one in camp. This camp focuses on working with common materials, tools, and techniques used in cosplay construction, including:

EVA (craft) foam sculpting and patterning techniques
Fabric identification and selection
Adapting character designs to your own style and proportions
Cosplay comfort— wearable layers that can be managed by the designer alone.
Cosplay character performance— moving in cosplay, stage contest skills, and posing for photos.

This camp ends with a staged “costume contest” for the entertainment of family and friends with peer-selected awards for all campers. The event will be held during the last hour of camp on Friday, and will be followed by a brief reception celebrating the designer/performers.
