Props Workshops

  • Tuesday, Sept. 24, 6-8:30 p.m.

  • Sunday, Sept. 29, 1-4 p.m. 

Channel your creative self, or your problem-solving self, or your engineer self and help build, revise and/or repair props. We have several props projects planned for this year: raising the statue canopy, spiffing up and developing a few new banners, adding haunches to St. Margaret’s dragon Adversaire, and, our biggest project, constructing a new lighted giant Joan puppet to end the parade. We always have jobs for all skill levels and people willing to learn! But please do keep in mind that all our props are unique, which means we only ever build the prototype, and we don’t have any kit or instructions — expect to be part of the problem-solving process.  If you prefer to have step-by-step instructions and a finished model to follow, we recommend the throws workshops. This workshop takes place at the krewe “den,” the home of Captain Amanda (and her two cats), 7330 Sycamore St., map).

Tuesday, Oct. 1: Social at El Cucuy, 6-8 p.m. 

Join us first Tuesdays of each month from 6-8 p.m. at El Cucuy, (3507 Tchoupitoulas, map).  Meet new and longtime krewe members, talk with krewe captains and leaders, mix and mingle and swap ideas, and just hang out with the krewe of medieval cool while enjoying Mexican food and drink!  Note: This is a pay-as-you-go event. We just choose the location and reserve a spot and might bring some cool show and tell items, but your eating and drinking choices are entirely up to you!
