What is a mask maker?

Mask Makers are skilled artisans or technicians who design, create, and assemble masks for various purposes, such as theater, film, festivals, medical use, or cultural events. They work with materials like fabric, latex, resin, paper-mâché, or plastic, shaping and decorating masks according to specific requirements. Mask Makers may also collaborate with costume designers, directors, or healthcare professionals to ensure the masks meet functional or aesthetic standards. Their creativity and technical skills help bring characters to life or provide protective equipment for public health.
