Leather

Commedia dell'Arte Masks

Each leather mask is made by hand and, as each piece of leather is different, each mask will have its own individual character and will have slight differences. Each mask is signed and numbered.

My leather techniques were developed on my own independently and by exchanging tricks and techniques with some of the finest leather artists and craftsperson around the world.

Many Commedia dell'Arte leather masks that you may see by other mask makers have a large seam. Either single or double seam going down, under the nose or from the tip of the nose through the lip. My masks have no seam except one mask does have a partial seam and you will not notice the seam unless you look very, very carefully.

My masks take longer to make this way and the leather quality must be high in order to get the leather to stretch as far as I do, but I feel it makes for a better mask.
