Hi gang --
Hurrah -- it's great to see email flying about this!
Let's try to find a common time to meet at the space to talk about it and see what I have done so far (even if that's just eviscerating a helpless toaster...).
How about this Friday evening at the space, around 7 pm?

So my
understanding is that we wanted to make swappable molds of a
couple of masks (actually, that the system would stay in the
space to be used by anyone who feels like making molds for
anything, not just masks).
It was suggested that we do this at the Dia De Los
Muertos celebration in the E St. Plaza that the DDBA is
holding on Halloween. We also have the opportunity to run
something for "Artober" although I don't know
which dates are still available.
Ultimately it would be nice to have the machine
available at the space - and this is a fire under our feet
to get it done! I hadn't committed to the Dia De Los
Muertos event yet, but if there is sufficient interest here,
and it sounds like there is, maybe I will do that if nobody
objects.

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.
