Masking jape Children and adults had a roaring time creating elaborate lion, tiger and leopard masks as part of an exhibition workshop.

Those taking part -- including back, from left, Hayley Brazier, and Gareth Jones, and, front, Elizabeth Myers, Hugh Jones and Becky Soppitt -- enjoyed the activity at Wantage's Vale and Downland Museum.

The session was taken by theatre group Trading Faces, whose members use masks in their performances.

Trading Faces performers taught children and adults of all ages basic mask-making skills at the workshop on January 17.

The event was organised to coincide with an exhibition of Trading Faces masks, which is running at the museum, in Church Street, until the end of the month.
