Topic Subject : Re: deathmasks

Lidia, as I recall, one of the classic books on sculpture, "Sculpture Inside and Out" by Malvina Hoffman about 1939 has at least a full chapter on the subject. While we now have better materials, there might be some still useful information. My copy is at my studio rather than my home. I will check tomorrow and let you know if it seems to have any value. If affirmative, I will be glad to copy the pages and send them to you. This may be a long shot, but perhaps worth a try.

A few years ago, someone attended one of my workshops specifically to learn the life casting process in order to do death masks. She worked for a funeral home and said that they occasionally got requests especially from Hispanics. I doubt if I can figure out who it was; but I'll look back in my records and see what I can find.
