Learn the art of stage-quality papier-mache mask making!
Each student will cast their face using plaster embedded gauze and make a plaster positive of their own face on which to build perfectly fitting masks. Learn the fundamentals of mask making and create a character mask of your own design. You will be instructed on how to build depth, add armatures and use mixed media to bring your character to life.
Instructor Martha Coates Donahoo learned this heritage craft during their apprenticeship with the Marin Shakespeare Company from a legacy mask maker and after two decades of practice is delighted to have the opportunity to share the craft with you!
