International artists share their technical skills and gives inspiration

In October and November 2010 Aalborg Carnival held a number of workshops in Nykøbing Mors, Vester Thorup School, Brønderslev, in Hjallerup, in Løgstør, in Aabybro, on Carnival Village (Aalborg Carnival's workshop) and Kontrasten in Aalborg. Charles Beauchamp from the company Mandinga arts in London showed the participants different simple techniques to create masks and headpiece from foam.

"It has been great, fantastic. Even though we only had short time, you still got a good knowledge about working techniques and materials. Charles was fantastic and inspiring"
- Rikke, Brønderslev

"I have found out how many funny things you can create with foam in short time, and I would like to buy some foam myself and work more with it"
- Nicolai, Vester Thorup School

"The workshop has definitely inspired me to participate in carnival and to make my own costume, because it is not that difficult as you might think. Especially, when you work with foam as it is easy to work with and it gives a lot of opportunities"
- Maiken, Kontrasten
