Interested in cosplay but don't know where to start? Have you cosplayed before and want to learn new skills? Good news! This DIY Cosplay Series is for you!
The Central IDEA Lab has put together workshops to help aspiring and current cosplayers learn a variety of making skills using the equipment in the IDEA Lab to create, embellish, or level up their costumes. Attend one of our informational sessions to get inspired and to meet other cosplayers.
