Headwrap & Make-Up Demo Workshop
Join Way Wive Wordz for a headwrap workshop plus a make-up demo as part of our Black History Month events.
This fun, interactive and practical workshop gives you a playful experience of trying on different headwrap styles. Whether for casual or dress-up, adornment can be therapeutic and feel-good! With well-being and cultural identity as its focus, this workshop will be a practical session on the importance of adornment.
Samples of wraps will be provided for you to have fun with, but you may wish to bring your favourites to try out.
This session will be complemented by a make-up demonstration with Make-Up artist Kathy Nanena.
Please bring your own make-up and she will show you how to do professional finishes and colour matches to enhance your natural beauty.
