I enjoyed this experience. I liked being able to choose the mask style and colours I wanted. It was also cool to see how quickly the guide did all the fancy decorating on my mask!

My goodness! This selection was amazing. I already create "decorative" masks, not for wearing, and the "Master Mask Maker" was just that. He knew how to welcome first timers, and aspiring artists alike. He gave a free hand to the students once guidance was given to them, so that each student was able to leave with a beautiful "one of a kind" mask that they created themselves. I will never forget the experience, the teacher and the visit.
