Art Club: Halloween DIY Arts & Crafts

By Joshua Y’Barbo 

Oct 2023


As an artist-in-residence for the TEAM LEWIS Foundation and a lecturer for the MA Global Collaborative Design Practice at the University of the Arts London, I write Art Clubs for cross-sector audiences and teach a range of theoretical, practical, and research-based skills transferable across art and design.  This month, I designed a fun series of DIY arts and crafts activities, making Halloween decorations and masks. 





And not for the results of my efforts!!
