Creating the mask
0 min read
Masks are traditionally made of leather but more commonly of woolen paper. To make each mask, a clay model is produced after which liquid plaster is poured and hardened. The plaster is then coated with a medium such as Vaseline, which is meant to prevent the paper from sticking. Masks are prepared with two or three layers of paper, depending on the size of the mold, and are left until they completely dry. The mask is then further processed to include specific designs prior to being painted. In order to protect the mask, it is imperative that it be coated with a clear varnish.
