Mask Moulding

Recommended Posts

Since there seems to be at least a dozen mask makers here, I thought I'd ask what you use to mould your masks on?

I use plaster forms (Commedia del arte) or nothing at all (Bulldog), relying on the pattern for the shape.

I use a form that I made from the casing that a halloween mask came in. the casing was the same as the mask so I poured resin into it.

I attended a class by Alex Ortega, and after we cast our own faces, we made our final molds from something called "Densite" (spelling unknown). Very very hard dense plaster that takes the repeated brass hammer blows to shape the mask.
