mask maker

Creates facial coverings

A mask maker is a person who creates masks, whether for theatrical productions, ceremonial purposes, costumes, or decorative art.

The term encompasses both traditional craftspeople who work in cultural traditions—carving wooden masks for rituals or festivals—and contemporary artisans producing masks for theater, film, or Halloween: The mask maker spent weeks crafting the elaborate Venetian designs.
