Ravenwood Masks

Wearable Art
for Performance and Masquerade

Award winning masks handmade by theatrical designer Alyssa Ravenwood. Each mask is finely crafted with attention to detail and design.

"In addition to conveying a vivid impression of each character, these masks were lovely works of art. They reminded us of the rich tradition of European mask-making and the important role of masks in the history of theater."

2004 Drammy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Mask Design

This site is growing. New masquerade and theater masks will be added soon. Please visit again or me if you have a special request. - Alyssa
