MASK MAKING CLASS
Mask making workshop over 5 Tuesday evenings, starting June 4th 2019:
You will sculpt your character design in clay, and then take a mould of this in plaster of Paris We will then use this mould to create a 'positive' mask shape, using a special artisan paper, used by Venetian mask makers.
This will be gessoed, painted and decorated to create a unique and personal mask which can be worn or used as a decoration.
You will be guided through all the techniques needed to make a professional standard mask, and the materials (mask sculpting form, clay, plaster, paper and paint) will be provided.
Who is the course suitable for?: You do not need to have experience of mask making or sculpture - you will be guided through the process, but you do need to be happy to take part in slightly messy art processes, using clay, plaster etc.
