Masks

Masks have many different purposes whether it be cultural or religious. For the mask project I wanted to do something that resembled a demon or devil. I sketched out different ideas trying to decide what features I wanted to include. My project turned out looking a lot like my first sketch. I started with a base around a newspaper mold. I cut out the eyes and the moth from this base and started creating the nose. From there I made the horns by wrapping clay around my finger in order to make sure the horn were hollow. After it was all fired I glazed the mask using PC-4 and PC-59. I used the PC-4 for the horns and around the eyes and mouth. The rest I used the PC-59.
