Teachers
• Steve Fritzinger from Nova Labs- Pepakura is the other Japanese paper-folding tradition — the one where you’re allowed to cut the paper. It’s a great way to make quick mockups of cosplay armor, check fit and sizing before committing to a 27-hour 3D print, and even build the final armor itself.
• Naychan- Naychan is an award winning central Virginia based cosplayer who has been sewing and creating costumes for well over a decade. She takes pride in clean craftsmanship and adding personal details to every costume. Naychan strives to learn something new with each build and has found a real passion in bringing that knowledge to other cosplayers through panels and workshops at conventions all over the east coast. She truly believes anyone can cosplay and loves to empower that crafting spirit! Her favorite projects usually involve sewing, painting, rhinestones, and especially a crafted fake food prop.
• Sayakat Cosplay- Sayacat Cosplay as been cosplaying and guesting for over a decade and has judged and hosted cosplay competitions, lead panels and workshops, and currently teaches cosplay classes and camps for teens locally. She is a cosplay generalist, working in armor and props, sewing, styling wigs, and generally nerding out over all aspects of cosplay!
