The exhibition can be adapted to fit into virtually any secure space. The exhibition includes masks from Trading Faces extensive collection created for performances and workshops. The exhibits cover a wide range of styles and materials and include masked sculptures and an interactive mask display. The range of masks includes character, caricature, naïve, neutral, commedia, animal, children's cardboard masks and displays of methods and materials for making masks. Masks from other cultures complement the exhibition. “The exhibition was fascinating and gave a
history of masks as well as a broad range of the masks
they have made for their own shows, so it was perfect
for all of the school and college drama courses which
have a mask work element, as well as for our normal
audience who appreciate fine craftsmanship." Olivia Thornton
“It was a private view with a difference -really engaging with young people & their families and using the exhibits as live works to connect with - each with a story to tell” Heather McCulloch Arts Development Officer West Oxfordshire District Council “Interesting, creative, fascinating” M O’Brian, Shrewsbury
