Traditional and Mardi Gras Masks
Beginners and advanced students, members of Mardi Gras clubs or traditional customs groups
This course is dedicated to traditional mask carving originating in the Austrian and Swiss alpine region, the Swabian region and the Black Forest.

After carving, the masks will be painted accordingly using acrylic or oil paint which give them their distinctive look.
Bring along several drafts or examples of masks from photos, models or books, since this is decisiive for making quick progress and success. No Krampus or devil's masks will be created in this course. All required paint is included in the course price.
