Mask Makers Web

NOVICA ARTIST "Once I have the piece in front of me I begin to imagine what I will carve and how I will carve it ..." ?Hello, my name is Rutilio Pascual and I was born on October 6, 1958, in Ocumicho, Michoacan. Since I was a child, I worked in agriculture, a very enduring labor with little or no profit. When we got married, my wife Tomasa began elaborating ceramic figurines to help me with our household expenses. She always told me that I should also work with ceramics, but I continued in agriculture until she convinced me to switch over. It was nine years ago that my cousins taught me how to make wooden masks, and now I?m continuing the trade on my own.
