Mask Making with Soozi Schlanger
Join Soozi Schlanger as she does a pop-up style art demonstration in the outdoor Artisan Market.
“I developed an alternate technique where I could cast my clay sculpture in another substance other than plaster thereby making the pieces permanent. I use brown paper towel, glue, and wallpaper paste with a resist layer of aluminum foil. Large, general, and natural shapes lend themselves well to this technique.
The masks are a positive mould that shows both sides of the sculpture. The side created in clay and also the negative interior side are in essence both what the mask hides and what the mask reveals.”
