Leather Clown Nose Making Workshop

Making well over 100 custom clown noses for clowns in the New York area and around the world Stanley Allan Sherman is going to teach a two-day workshop in how to make your own leather clown noses.

➢ In the class you will learn how to:
➢ Choose leather for the nose
➢ Prepare the leather.
➢ Mold leather into the clown nose
➢ Sharpen the knife blade. Very important, you cannot cut leather with a dull knife.
➢ Fit the clown nose
➢ Cut the clown nose
➢ Paint and finish the 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 mask and nose work please go to www.maskarts.com.
