Leather Clown Nose Making Workshop

taught by Stanley Allan Sherman

at

 

 
 
 
 
 
Making well over 100 custom clown noses for clowns in the New York area and around the world Stanley Allan Sherman will be teaching a two-day workshop.
 
In the class you will learn how to:
¯    Choose leather for your nose
¯    Prepare the leather.  
¯    Mold leather into your clown nose
¯    Sharpen the knife blade.  You cannot cut leather with a dull knife.
¯    Fit your clown nose
¯    Cut the clown nose (and punch the holes under your nostrils so you can breath)
¯    Paint (any color you want!!!) and finish your clown nose 
¯    Prepare and fit the elastic and string.
 
One great thing about the leather clown nose is they do not sweat like rubber or latex and they have a much more natural look than rubber.  To see examples of Stanley's masks, clown noses, photos from past Clown Nose Making Workshops and information please go to www.maskarts.com
