[dcw] Call for Volunteers -- Halloween Mask Project

[Jeff Tolentino]

I just finished another mask and would be up for doing yet another for this project.  Would we have the ability to have multiple molds to swap in an out? If so it would be cool to have a few people contributing mask designs.
 
Also what is the timeline for this?   I have lots going on next month.  If we are shooting for Halloween, that would be doable for me, but I vaugely remember something about earlier October on this (which would be harder for me to do).  Plus I'm guessing there would need to be some time to get the mold prepared from the original piece.

Nice.

I'm going to try reaching out to the newly forming Third Space Art Collective to see if there is any interest in this project from their members.
