Cosplay

AthVentureCon 24 was our first real dip into Cosplay and it was a huge success. So much so, that our Cosplay Showcase was packed!! We had around a dozen amazing participants and the rest was standing room only! This year we’re moving it into the big room so everyone who wants to watch or participate can.

Along with the showcase, we’re bringing back something like the Scrap Weapon Workshop as well as a number of panels and workshops on both days.

Saturday Afternoon: Cosplay / Costume Showcase

Sunday Noon: Prop making and foam armor crafting for Cosplay

Learn how to use basic cosplay materials, starting from the cheapest and easiest ones for beginners and finishing at professional cosplay making. Learn how to plan the project from the beginning, how to make patterns and blueprints, what materials are best for what and how to use them properly to get the best outcome (and maintain safety while doing so!).

Sunday Afternoon: Scrap Weapon Workshop

This one is ideal for (but definitely not limited to) the young ones. Come create fantasy or cosplay weapons using the cheapest, easiest to find material ever – CARDBOARD!

Last year this activity was a massive hit and we had to start a waiting list! This year, we’re dividing it amongst two seperate rooms to make sure everyone can get in and create their own fantasy weapon.
