Last month I took a mask making class at The Art Station in Ponchatoula, LA. My class taught by owner, Kim Howes Zabbia who is an amazing artist and teacher. Earlier I posted pictures of the “in progress mask,” so now here without further ado is the finished product.
This is the first time I’ve every built a clay mask like this, that was then glazed and fired. Normally, I use air dry clay and form fabric over that. I can’t wait to try this again.

It’s brilliant, Anna Marie! Are you going to make some more?
I was dropping by for It’s Monday – What are you Reading?, saw this fabulous post and thought I’d be the first to congratulate you.
Thanks! I hope to make more soon. I don’t own a kiln, but you can pay to use the one at the art school.
I love all the detail with her hair and eyes, and her beautiful, strong features. It’s lovely.
(One day, I will remember my wordpress pw so I can be officially here.)
Remember, I have a ceramic kiln. It’s really a great job. You have so many talents.
I also love the details. Is that you yourself?
No it is not a self portrait, but simply the features that emerged as I working with the clay.
