Dear Art Educators,

Folks have been looking for contemporary mask makers. There is lots more out
there for Northwest Coast wood carvers. I just have a couple listed that
were linked to Maskmakers Web http://www.maskmakersweb.org/ . I did not
search the category of leather masks as those didn't interest me. If you
search - post any good ones you find to the list. If you come across any
good sites for contemporary maskmakers in other media - post those, too. I
am done searching for contemporary. Below - there are many cultural links
mixed in. Many of these will not be linked to my site - I am just listing so
you can get images if you wish.
