Studio Masks
Studio masks are a world apart from the mass
produced items.
An original statue is made, and a mold from
this is thrown. This reverse mold is used for making the actual
latex mask.
Once pulled from the mold, the latex piece is
hand-painted and dyed. Eyes and hair are added as necessary.
Dentition is applied.
These pieces take months to make, sometimes
years.
After all the talent, all the work, the masks
are sold for next to nothing. I suspect that this is going
to change, and it is long overdue.
We value the welfare of our artists, and keep
them well insulated. This allows them to not expend their
energies with the business aspects of selling their works,
and they can focus on their art.
