Mask Making with Rigid Forms
Hi All, Have been designing with Midjourney and am now looking to bring some designs into 3D in the real world, but these mask designs require a reproducible pattern and a rigid under-form. I'd love to know where I can learn about this - or the name of a good fabricator. Bronze - there are people all over town, but wearable rigid forms with soft materials mounted on them (leather, cloth, yarn) not so much. Any info appreciated!

We have a few great courses that focus specifically on rigid masks.
I would start with Bruce D. Mitchell's mask-making course series:
https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/how-to-make-a-mask-wearable-dynamic-art-part-one
This course by Patrick Magee is also fantastic for rigid mask making.
This course by Fred Fraleigh covers a lot of outstanding mask fabrication techniques.

I would start with those 3 series of courses, and then you can explore the rest of our mask-making lesson if you wish to dive in further.
Here is a list of all our courses for mask-making: https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials?tag=Mask+Making
