  Clown Nose Making Workshop Nov 3–5

Note: Posted as gleaned.

Election Day Clown Nose Making Workshop
Custom-fitted leather clown nose making two-day workshop

Having made well over 100 custom-fitted clown noses for clowns in the New York area and around the world, Stanley Allan Sherman will be teaching a two-day workshop: How to make your own custom-fitted leather clown nose.

CircusNYC In the class you will learn how to:
  1. Choose leather for the nose
  2. Prepare the leather for your nose
  3. Mold leather into your clown nose
  4. Sharpen the knife blade. You cannot cut leather with a dull knife.
  5. Fit your clown nose
  6. Cut you clown nose
  7. Paint and finish your clown nose
  8. Prepare and fit the elastic and string
One great thing about the leather clown nose is that it does not sweat as rubber or latex do, and it has a much more natural look and feel than rubber. Many clowns still use their custom-fitted leather clown nose 20 years later.

To see examples of Stanley's masks and clown noses, see maskarts.com.
