Foam-crafting
You don't have to be at the mercy of what you can find in the store/online anymore. This foam-crafting demo will show you how easy it can be to make anything you can imagine -- swords, head pieces, armor, horns, oversized objects, etc -- out of items that are easily and cheaply purchased from the nearest hardware store. You don't need to be an artist to be able to foam-craft!

About the Teacher - Moxie LaBouche
Moxie LaBouche performs and produces burlesque around the mid-Atlantic and beyond, specializing in a style known as “nerd-lesque,” which involves dressing up as (then undressing as) beloved fictional characters. Her style as a performer tends toward the silly, portraying everything from a washed-up beauty queen to giant barbarian knight to Grover from Sesame Street, though she has a penchant for the dramatic, as well. Moxie has produced tributes to Jim Henson, Archer, Mel Brooks, and of course the works of George R. R. Martin. She was also a presenter in the 2016 TEDxRVA. Website
