Wanting to Make Monster Masks?

Hello Everyone!


I am looking to make monster masks, but before I check out any videos or books, I wanted to see if there was anyone in the Central Pennsylvania area that knows how to work with clay and latex and make some real looking monster masks. I would be willing to pay for lessons if you could possibly teach me.Wanting to Make Monster Masks?
I am not in your area but I am a masker. Before launching into clay why not try paper mache'. If you construct a wire form and build layered paper mache' onto it you can mold it into any shape you like to produce the desired effect. Once dry it can be embellished as you wish. If you wish to wear these masks be sure your wire form larger than your face since paper mache will shrink.





When you are comfortable with this medium it will be easier to work with clay. You can also purchase a plastic mask form and use it to build upon then peel off your completed mask, using either medium. Latex takes a great deal of drying time between applications.
