Copper Mask
2690 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 19, Studio 206, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $88 - $98
Design a mask shape and cut it from .010 copper or brass sheet. Enrich the surface with texture, adding detail and dimensional form using a variety of hammers, files, pliers, and other metalworking tools and techniques.
Create facial features with additive or subtractive techniques such as punching through the metal and using cold connections such as twisted or coiled wires, jump rings, and rivets. Add character with colorful glass or wood beads, shells, or other ephemera provided. Feel free to bring personal elements from home. Masks may be oxidized with provided solutions and other color enrichment techniques and patinas may be discussed.
