How to Make Masks, Good J., 2012.

   It’s just as much fun to make a mask as it is to wear it after it’s finished. And remember—masks aren’t just for wearing. They make great wall art, too. With just a few inexpensive materials and a few hours of “work,” you can populate the walls of your home (or your costume chest) with brand new personalities, creatures, and beasts.
Even more exciting, think of this—just by making a mask of your own creation, you’re following in the footsteps of a tradition that goes back at least 35,000 years, to the days when Neanderthals still lived on earth. I think that’s pretty amazing, don’t you?




About Plaster of Paris.
You can find plaster of Paris in hardware stores and art stores. When water is added (or, in this case, white glue and water) plaster turns solid, but for our purposes we don’t want it to get hard too quickly. To slow it down a bit we add just a touch of vinegar to our paste and gesso mixtures. This will give you from 10 to 20 minutes to work.

You may notice that the gesso in your brush starts to get hard before the gesso in your bowl. Dried plaster paste on the surface of the paper mache will cause the gesso in the brush to harden faster (I don’t know why it happens, but it does). If you see this happening, just rinse out your brush, or use a fresh one. I use cheap bristle brushes from the paint store, which cost about 49¢. Plaster will harden underwater (that’s why I keep saying that you shouldn’t dump left-over paste or gesso into your sink) but it never gets rock-hard like concrete. That means that your paper mache surface will always stay slightly water-soluble, so you can use a damp sponge, paper towel or even a damp finger to polish the surface of your masks even after the paper mache and gesso are completely dry.
