Clay Mask Making

We are making a tribal mask using clay.

air dry clay, newspaper , rolling pin, clay shaping tools

draw an outline of the mask shape with all its features on a piece of paper.

Roll up old newspaper in the shape of a mask to be used as a mould.

Select a large portion of the clay and roll it into a ball. then use a household roller pin to flatten it to the shape you want. Make sure the layer of clay is about 5 mm thickness

cover the newspaper mould with the sheet of clay.

fashion shapes out of clay for the eye brows, eyes, nose and mouth and ears.

fix the facial features on the basic mask created in Step-4 and smoothen the surfaces with a sponge

fix the clay to a wooden plate and then nail it to the wall !!!
