Want to get into cosplay but not sure where to start? Whether you’ve got a big idea or just want to learn the tools of the trade—professional and DIY—this cosplay makerspace is for you. 

 

With expert guidance, plenty of space, and all the right tools, you’ll bring your costumes, wigs, and props to life. 

 

Here’s what you’ll learn: 

  • Class 1: How to create paper patterns for foam and sewing projects, plus how to safely cut foam with X-Acto knives and use hot glue. 
  • Class 2: How to safely use a sewing machine. 
  • Class 3: Safety tips for using Dremel tools and hand saws. 
  • Class 4: How to finish foam projects with Mod Podge for a smooth look. 
  • Class 5: Tips and tricks for styling cosplay wigs. 
  • Classes 6–8: Lab time to work on your own cosplay projects with support and feedback. 

 

Children under 13 must be dropped off and picked up at their classroom by a parent or caregiver. 

Please use the Notes section during registration to list needed accommodations. 

Classes require a minimum enrollment of four students. If classes must be cancelled due to low enrollment, students will be informed one week prior to the start of the class and issued a full refund.
