Latex Mask Making: A Workshop with Russ Adams
Latex Mask Making is Amazon bestselling author Russ Adams’ foundational guide to sculpting, molding, and creating character masks using traditional practical‑effects techniques. First published in 2017, the book has become his best‑selling instructional title and a long‑standing resource for beginners, hobbyists, and FX students looking to learn the fundamentals of mask creation from a working creature designer.
The book covers sculpting workflow, mold preparation, casting techniques, finishing, and shop‑tested methods used throughout Russ’s FX career. Written in a clear, approachable style, Latex Mask Making provides a step‑by‑step look at the processes and materials commonly used in professional effects shops at the time of publication. It remains a valuable introduction to the craft and a companion to Russ’s later instructional books and creature‑design work.
