Cosplay Armor Workshop

This workshop covers two popular methods of creating cosplay armor–leatherworking and EVA foam. The basic leatherworking and craft skills required to create bracers, pauldrons, leg armor, bandoliers, and baldrics to elevate fantasy, cosplay, historical, or science fiction looks. We’ll go over using leather working tools, punches, grommets, and straps. We will also devote some time to molding, contouring, and shaping EVA foam into armor pieces you can prime and paint at home, and how to create material illusions like rust or stone textures. The goal is for everyone to walk away with a decent piece of armor and everything they need to know in order to build the rest. Leatherworking tools, hardware, leather, and EVA foam provided.
