Other Expenses

 * Description: $150 Honorarium for 4 mask making workshops in April:The first workshop would be on life casting! I would go over Alginate as a material and do a face cast demonstration. Once the cast is done we will go over gypsums as a material and produce a positive of the face cast. By the end of the workshop everyone will have an understanding of life casting technique and a grasp on the materials involved and what works for what situation. Additionally we would cover sculpture and casting - either in the same workshop or in another one. This would go into form and function of a prosthetics related sculpture and get into detail regarding how to sculpt to a subjects facial structure. Once this is covered we will get into molding and casting! With the molding and casting we will discuss materials for each situation one may encounter while developing a mask, and what techniques to use is each situation. In the end everyone should have a basic understanding of mold design and avoiding undercuts, how to approach a mold for pouring and injection requirements, and ideally, how to mold and cast objects. The last stage would be producing the final mask! This workshop would cover latex as a material in all forms, ending with Foamed Latex and how to properly mix and run the foam. We will cover the fickle nature of the material and go into some detail regarding temperature and barometric pressure of your work environment and how it will effect the mixing stages of your foam run. We will end with running the foam into the mold we designed in the course of this description, place it in the oven, and end by discussing baking times and how it effects the materials we have covered through this whole process. The next time the group meets, we will de-mold the final mask and talk about prosthetic masks and makeup techniques involved, ideally by applying the mask in question while working as a group to color the appliance and end by filming and photographing the end result. Times and Materials per stage. Life Casting: Materials - Alginate, Plaster Bandages, Burlap, and Gypsum (Either plaster for a non-permanent cast or Ultra-cal for a permanent one.) Time - The whole process will take around two hours, with the subject being in a chair for around 45 of those minutes. Sculpting and Casting: Materials - Clay, Burlap, Gypsum (Once again, either plaster or Ultra-cal depending on desired longevity) Time - Depends on how far we want to take it, we can basically end whenever while taking into account the last 30 to 40 mins for the Casting. Foam Run: Materials - Foamed Latex Kit, Stand Mixer (I have one), Oven (Lemelson Has One). Time - The actual run will only take 15 mins, but I would say an hour of us talking and running. Baking will take 4 hours, so we should take Lemelson's closing time into account so we can pick up the mold later - no one needs to be around for taking it out of the oven. Demolding and Makeup: Materials - Makeup, Prosthetic Adhesive. Time - However long we want to go.
 * TOTAL: $ 600.00
