Aquest material permet de fer obres molt grans i tamb? molt petites, ja que ?s un material que, despr?s de seguir tot un llarg proc?s, d?na un producte de qualitat, el qual ?s perdurable i consistent. A Catalunya ?s un ofici arrelat des de fa molt i molt de temps, oferint un ampli ventall de peces com: Gegants i Nans; Carrosses, tant per a Reis/Epifania com per a Carnestoltes; motius d'adornament i decorats teatrals i per a envelats; titelles, nines, cavalls, capses i un llarg nombre d'altres coses.

Hi, I live in the U.S., and I am an Aviculturist. I have been studying on my own how to make masks and I find it fascinating. So far have made about 20, and most of them have feathers from my peacocks, parrots, and other Avian friends, when they molt.

Bea Lubbers makes masks fitting exactly on the person who wants to play with it. On a chalk mould (especially made) I produce a mould of the mask I want to make. After that the real thing starts. Building up with little pieces of leather and finishing it off with material to make the mask firm and enduring. Colours, completing the character, is the last and very much fun-part...

Each Powermask is made from the wood of the Queen Palm that grows in South West Florida. As the artist feels each piece of palm wood she holds it until she senses the essence or the spirit of the wood. A story and/or lessons about life are taught through the use of etchings and multi colored paintings. Those who are engaged in their own desire for improvement and spiritual growth can use the Power Masks as an adjunct tool/technique for meditation and visualization. The artist feels the Masks can be helpful in trying to reduce the stress of daily life.

Lucrecia Novoa studied Fine Arts in University of Chile and the Massachusetts College of Arts In 1996, Lucrecia attended the Art of the Mask course offered by Eric Bornstein. This was a turning point in her career. Under Eric's patient guidance, she learned not only techniques of mask masking but also how to mold gestures and expressions into the masks. In the process of creating them, Lucrecia was forced to look at her self in the mirror constantly. What she found was the recollection of past anxieties, frustrations and anger. That's why her first masks were very dark

Quite litterally: Singing masks. Composer and maskmaker just go take a look! This is fabulous. "Much of the power and impact of Lowrey's work comes from the combination of archetypal material (in the appearance of the masks, gestures, and the sounds of water, percussion, and voice) and the collective participation of the audience. The pieces drew the listeners into various modes of parrticipation in a structurally strong and rightly intuitive flow of events. In that envelope of dreamtime, we listeners experienced a collective deep consciousness. This is music that transforms and heals."
