Life & Death Masks at the Library: Face Casting at PUL Makerspace (Part 2 of 2)
Join us for a two-day mask casting workshop at the PUL Makerspace. This workshop will introduce students to the alginate method of life casting, including material preparation, material mixing, and application. Students will have the opportunity to create masks casted from their own face or hands. Bring a friend! Please note that this activity is not recommended for people prone to claustrophobia or breathing issues, unless you are applying the casting materials on another person. Participants will have the option to cast hands instead of face.
