Qoute of the moment

Men had made those masks and other objects for a sacred purpose, a magic purpose, as a kind of mediation between themselves and unknown hostile forces that surrounded them, in order to overcome their fear and horror by giving it a form and an image. At that moment I realized that this was what painting was all about. Painting isn't an aesthetic operation, it's a form of magic - designed as mediation between this strange hostile world and us, a way of seizing power by giving form to our terrors as well as our desires. When I came to that realization, I knew I had found my way. Pablo Picasso, upon discovering African art for the first time at the Trocadero Museum, Paris, spring, 1907.

-- PABLO PICASSO

Mask Makers web into meditation

Hello dear visitors - we are sorry that we haven't had the time to maintain this wonderful site as much as we wanted for a long time.
We have been very busy and will be for yet another long time - so the site will enter into a meditation until further notice.
We will only deal with issues when we have the time.
But don't worry - the site will stay online.

Traditional Leather mask making in Italy I will have a sabbatical in the spring of 2010 and am very interested in studying traditional leather mask making techniques. I am particularly interested in studying in Italy. I was wondering if Satori or his students were presenting workshops or seminars.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
