Using Toilet Paper to Make Theatre Masks

On behalf of Expert Village I'm Emily DeCola in Puppet Kitchen in New York City. Today we are going to talk about theatrical masks. So that was my pitch for Barth mache I highly recommend it, it is a great way to make mask. I should mention like the first coat like most paper mache process is I'm sculpting the positive of this mask in clay and then the first coat of paper that I lay down over the clay was toilet paper. You can also use tissue paper or very, very thin paper towels and that first coat which is not prepped with the glue acts like a release agent. Then you put a layer of glue onto that and start building up with Barth mache from there. I tend to only do one or two layers 2 or 3 layers of the Barth mache. The incredible easy to clean skull mask that I mentioned were also build with Barth mache but instead of maching the paper together I actually made a 3 dimensional paper pattern. That is what those are, they are couple of the patterns and put the pieces together with Barth mache.
