Learn how to make paper mache masks easily and quickly with these new techniques and over 300 step-by-step photos.

Make one of the 12 popular mask styles in the book. Once you learn these methods, you can use them to create your own unique designs for a play, Halloween, Mardi Gras - or just for fun.

Start out with a simple mask form and oil-based clay, and sculpt the features of your masks. The author shows you how. Then cover your sculpture with just two layers of super-strong, fast-setting paper mache, using the recipes included in the book. The clay can be used over and over again, and each mask you make will be a one-of-a-kind original.

When the paper mache is dry, use an easy painting method to make your sculpted mask look like it's made out of fur or feathers, antique gold, ancient bone, rusted iron, glazed porcelain, or carved and highly polished wood.

The innovative methods in this book are easy, the materials cost just pennies per mask, and your new creations will be even more fun to make than they are to wear. This book takes the art of paper mache masks to a whole new level.

Middle school students can make a mask using the ideas in the book. The book has also been used as a starting point for many amateur theater groups, by high school drama classes, and by adults of all ages looking for a new craft or hobby.

About the Author

Jonni Good is obsessed with both animals and art – she is constantly surrounded by her growing menagerie of masks, paper mache animal sculptures, and plenty of real critters, too – her pets sometimes “help” her in her studio. Jonni started drawing animals back in grade school, which was a very, very long time ago. Doing the research required for her artwork is almost as fun for her as doing the artwork itself, because it allows her to learn so much about history and the natural world. This was particularly true with her latest book, How to Make Masks! because the history of this art form spans at least 35,000 years. In her “spare” time, she answer questions from fellow paper mache sculptors from all over the world – you’ll find many lively conversations in the comments section on her blog at UltimatePaperMache.com. She is also the author of the book Make Animal Sculptures with Paper Mache Clay. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jonni Good is the author of five popular books about sculpting. She's also written two cozy mystery novels that feature an eccentric small-town sculptor who lives a much more exciting life than she does.

She's the host of the popular sculpting website UltimatePaperMache.com, where she shares her innovative sculpting methods and recipes with a world-wide audience. Her goal for the blog (and her art books) is to make sculpting so easy that everyone can have fun doing it.

She lives in a friendly little town in Minnesota with her pets and a house full of animal sculptures. When she's not writing or sculpting she spends her days in her large vegetable garden, fighting the squash borers and mosquitoes and dreaming up her next book or sculpture.

Interesting and Innovative

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 24, 2013

An excellent book for anyone who can't find a commercial version of the mask they want, or who just wants to make creative and economical masks. Jonni Good provides clear, careful, detailed instructions on how to use her extremely clever and innovative techniques.

As well as being amply and beautifully illustrated, the book is logically laid out so the student crafter can follow the steps with no difficulty. The pages are amply large and the binding is supple, so the book is easy to prop open -- extremely helpful for any instructional book. HOW TO MAKE MASKS is a great buy!

Fantastic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 14, 2013

Jonni's book is the best book I've found so far on mask making. Her instructions are easy to follow, well illustrated, and use materials that are easily obtainable even in the UK. The results are durable, sturdy, yet very light, and even better: once you've mastered the method the possibilities are endless and you can make masks as complex as your imagination allows! I've now got a shelf full of venetian-style masks in various stages of completion, and I only bought the book a couple of weeks ago.

I found it via a video on Youtube showing Jonni demonstrating some of the methods from this book, and from there I followed the trail to her website UltimatePaperMache where you can see her current works in progress. She's very generous with advice and showing her methods, so do check it out. I'm delighted with this book, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start making papier mache masks.
