Banff Clay & Cast, 2011
Diverse workshop participants signed up to learn foundation sculpting and design skills. Original masks were produced in clay, then cast from Plasti-Paste II (an experiment in fast casting with larger groups). Finished masks were easy to dremel and lightweight for suitcase packing.
