   • Hi Stephen:
     I work making leather masks and I teach also the technique of molding leather, if you are near Stockholm, Sweden I could show you. Otherwise there is a very good description of the technique in Thurston James book "The Prop Builders Mask-making Handbook". There you will find many other methods and materials for making masks. You can find this book in the book section here at Masmakers Web.
     Enjoy
     Augusto.

     Hi Stephen
     Here - on Mask Makers Web - there's a category in the link collection called Maskmaking, with 2 subcategories. One is methods. Here you can find several links to leather maskmaking. One in particular might be useful:
     On line 10 day ( 90 hour) workshop run by Paolo Consiglio of Florence, Italy

     Good luck from Susan, MMW
