The
Puppy Dog Mask is just one of the animals that students can choose to
build. (These masks are not meant to be worn - only for hanging!)
If full-sized masks are needed,
potter's clay is recommeded. If mini-masks will
do just as well, then more expensive media, like
air-dry
clay, can be used.
Air-dry clay will remain somewhat fragile once dry.
Potter's Clay can be fired. Firing requires the use of a kiln. Many
schools without kilns make arrangements with their local highschool art
teacher to have their projects fired! Please be aware that firing clay
will take at least a week and a half of time, usually longer due to
kiln scheduling. Bisque-fired masks (first firing) can be left as is or
painted with tempera or acrylic paints.
