Description
Process
- Chau masks come to life through the careful manipulation of paper pulp, mud, and clay, undergoing numerous intermediate steps before reaching their final form. Initially, a mask's clay model is fashioned and dried in the sun until it hardens. The mask is then coated with powdered ash, and layers of paper moistened with gum are applied to this ash-covered base. Afterward, clay is layered on top. Once this clay layer dries, fabric is affixed to it, and the mask is subsequently polished. The first layer of earth is removed once the mask has thoroughly dried, and a primary coat of white paint is applied.
- The finishing touches come with the coloring and adornment of the masks, in accordance with the characters they represent. Wool, jute, foil, bamboo sticks, plastic flowers, and beads are used for this purpose. Mask making is a collaborative effort within families, involving both male and female members, as well as young boys and girls.
