More Start with Art at the Community Campus
Portsmouth, New Hampshire January/February 2002

This project was again about the process, but we were all amazed at the end products! We created paper cast masks from clay molds, which we modeled after choosing an emotion to base them on.
The pictures include some of the participants with their masks which were made in a four weekend workshop at the Community Campus.

These photos are the participants working through the process of making a clay mold for a paper cast mask. They gave up ownership of their work to complete the pieces for a group sculptural work which now hangs in the Families First hallway and the computer room of the Community Campus.

The groupings of masks are amazing to view and the participants ranged in age from 2 to 82. It was truly a family affair as well as intergenerational. Each of the participants gained a greater sense of self esteem with the work they did as well felt very good about the final grouping of all the masks.
