Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Papier-Mâché Mask!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 кві 2022
- Adam's latest build takes him outside his comfort zone for an exercise in sculpting with papier-mâché (aka paper mache). Using one of his lifecasts as subject matter, Adam sculpts the likeness of old woman in clay before creating a plaster negative mold and then laying in papier-mâché to make a wearable mask!

Have you ever made anything out of papier mache? What was it?
Tested Premium/Patron exclusive: Watch Adam sculpt in real time: ua-cam.com/video/754GQMvW_NE/v-deo.html
In grade school I made a gorgeous Star Wars stormtrooper mask that I later got an F on because I refused the teachers suggestion that I put feathers on it.
Why not use the thin cups as an insert into a clear glass or stiffer plastic cup that way you don't waste as much plastic every time you mix stuff.
When I was a kid my dad had a large table with a track for little race cars with the pin in the bottom and trigger wired remote. My brother and I built mountains, tunnels and a volcano out of paper mache for the us to race the cars through and around in this little town.
It’s amazing how the attitude of a mentor can so influential! I did it with a lovely bunch of teenagers on the playground with no budget but lots of heart to teach their little siblings and neighborhood kids so this was highly enjoyable for me, but my scientist husband would tear up because of an art teacher who terrorized him for “doing it wrong”.
An unmitigated disaster!
Best part about all these "Tutorials" is him sporting the mad scientist look with crazy hair and the momentary lapse in communication while his mind goes off on a tangent for a few seconds and then comes back to the camera. I absolutely love it, it makes it enjoyable even more... lol
I always wonder where he goes for those few seconds. Astral plane?
Mans got some major adhd and we love to see it
Takes me right back to summer holidays with my Grandad. He was a mask maker - had a shop in 60’s Soho, London called Theatre Zoo. Started off making papier-mâché carnival heads then moved on to rubber masks. Clay sculpt, plaster jacket, then pigmented rubber pour. (There’s a short Pathe film somewhere on UA-cam about him) Fun fact, he made the masks and egg heads used in the Beatles ‘I Am the Walrus’ video.
When he retired, he carried on from a workshop in his garden and I used to help out during my school holidays. Wonderful man.
I learned a paper maché technique about 30 years ago where you used paper and wheat starch blended to a fine powder and then mixed with water to do fine detail work. It made a kind of fibrous slurry that you could push into finer detail than strips of paper. My mum was not impressed with the state of the food blender full of pulverised newspaper when I was finished.
Lol:)
I've noticed something I personally rarely see recognize in the ODBs today. And that is uncut footage of Adam stalling before casting off on a project. And it is so great to see professionals do it as well as lovers of the comfort zone like myself. Really inspired me to become more brave and stepping outside said zone more often!
I'll share a story of one of my ludicrously bad cases of stalling while I'm at it. Now this is an extreme case, so I recommend you don't try this type of stalling at home. It may have the power to summon divorce lawyers and debt collectors.
I'm a keen, beginner level maker on hobby basis and I'm not really good at spray painting. Which is a bummer because I love working with metal. I'm really into cars and car culture as well, while also living in an area with lots of rain and frozen winters (ergo: roads are de-iced with salt, accelerating corrosion). This usually means older 10-15+ year-old cars - cars compatible to a 20-something year old person's bank account - are often attacked by rust.
To fix this, you need to know how to remove and/or stop rust of course (easy enough, just patience and the right tools), but also to coat it up again with spray paint, which was (and still kinda is) my problem.
So, I've had my fair share of failed attempts on painting fender arches and door sills, so one day I decided to cut some sheet steel into different size plates, and just practice on my technique. Now, in my defence, I'm a full time academic student, so I get wayy too little time practicing and maintaining my making skills, compared to what I'd like to. But still, what I did was so stupendous - I used hours and hours on end, making sure that the plates I wanted in the same dimensions, were EXCACTLY the same dimensions. And that I had completely centered and uniform holes to hang my plates from the ceiling in. Plates I was going to spray with paint and never show to anyone else! All because I was stalling my decision to step outside the comfort zone.
I believe we all have a couple of these experiences where something really bad or counterproductive happened when we left our trusty comfort zones, and we often hang on to them. And these stories we keep telling ourselves, that things like this will happen every time we step outside our area of confidence, are lies. Adam reminded me of that today, even though I am only 3 minutes into the video. So don't stop yourself because of past failures. Meet them head on, learn from them, and aim for the possibilities of the future
when you do paper mache its always good to rip the paper up and place in the paste for 10 minutes so the paper can fully soak up the paste and become supple before using it, also, always a good idea to have 2 different colored papers so you can tell the difference between layers
my third grade art teacher, who did this with Gorbachev and his wife in our school on a visit to MN, always promoted the soak, squigee (SP?), and place method. I remember because of Gorbachev...
Really great advice with the two different colours! I usually use newspapers, so it's all the same, but maybe they could be sorted into "images" and "text" piles...
oh man for lack of a model or any sort of assistant I once cast my own face IRL with alginate it was quite an experience 😅 Couldn't see a thing, eyes and mouth shut, breathing through straws in my nose while applying the stuff blindly and then adding plaster strips on top to reinforce it, I had no idea if it would work but it came out great as did the latex mask I made from it. Fun stuff!
You are a mad lad. Kudos to you.
I'm pretty sure you managed to sculpt a nearly perfect Gary Busey face mask without trying to. Something seemed very familiar when I saw the thumbnail and at the end of the video it dawned on me. It's really quite amazing.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this!
My first thought as well 🤣
As I was opening the vid the first thought I had was why is he making a Gary Busey mask lol
I thought the same thing! Commented exactly that, just now, and then saw THIS comment. I’ve found my people.
You know what I think it is? It's the asymmetrical nose
Adam giving us some nightmare fuel today. I love learning and being terrified at the same time.
You basically described freshman year.
Don't talk so about Reverend Mother Ronperlman!
I too noticed the Emperor comparison. Really wanted to see you put it on with a black hood!
Adam is just so darn entertaining. I could watch him make literally everything
I have appreciated Adam since I first made his acquaintance when MythBusters started airing. Today both him and myself are quite a bit older (I relate to the hair thing) and it came to me with clarity why I enjoy him so much. He's so passionate about everything he puts himself into. A bridge, a sculpture, a pieces of a sword... The way he feels about it all is intoxicating :)
Edit: "Some day I will rebuild the ears..."... Me goes... "Please make elven ears" :)
I'm recovering from knee surgery right now and I am so thankful for your videos. Your gentle enthusiasm and positive attitude has made my drug addled viewing a good trip. Thank you
Adam: "We're gonna stick it in my lab oven, which is currently at 200 degrees."
Also Adam: *touches it* "OW... that's hot."
i remember doing something similar to this in school but we used paper pulp (newspaper in a blender). Gives you a lot of flexibility for molding into extreme shapes. Same idea as homemade paper only pushing the wet pulp into molds.
Same here, we usually also used a lot of crepe paper for colored parts, while painting over newspaper pulp.
Using paper pulp is great for mask making - it can be sculpted just like clay. It's faster, drys much harder, is more durable and is much less mess than using paper strips soaked in paste.
Paper pulp can work, but when you already have a mold, there is no point in using a material that can be “sculpted.”
nice one. I have to try this technique.
I find talcum powder in white school glue to be a decent finisher. just mix it into a sludge (almost like the plaster from the mold) and paint it over the piece. when it's partially dry, you can add details like it was clay. the end result is smooth as porcelain, but less brittle and heavy.
also, if you add some alcohol to the sludge and blow-dry it, it dries weird, like a craquelure effect.
There are various videos of Venetians showing how they make with the negative mold papier-mâché masks. It might come in handy
I love it. Such a beautiful look to it with just the natural paper Colour
I once made an over the head mask from a commercial plastic sculpting product. It was easy to use and I got great results. But just a couple years later it became very brittle and easily cracked.
The results of the paper mache’ mask are surprisingly good... and it’s amazing how ingredients as humble as paper and a simple paste can endure for ages. I’m really tempted...
I absolutely love these one day builds.
That music choice is sick. I don't usually find myself rocking out watching builder/maker videos on UA-cam. I'm digging it. 😊
I love how as Adam is showing the inside of the old man mould it creates the illusion that the face is protruding outwards. A great 3D illusion!
I could listen to you all day adam. So full of knowledge
I'm at 12:00 right now and I have to say that I love seeing the process. Thanks for making videos like this.
I don't know why, but watching your videos makes me happy.
You went for old woman, you got Gary Busey! I love it 😎
Adam, you are by far the coolest builder I've ever seen.
You look like a well aged Max Headroom with that mask. I lie it! My last paper mache project was a dive helmet for a music show about 4 years ago. Turned out nice
Love that optical illusion. So cool.
I really enjoyed this one Adam. Hopefully your skill will grow and grow. Not like this was bad but I couldn’t get it looking nowhere near this well for my first one. Awesome job as always!!!
The clay sculpture started to look like Palpatine for a while. Missing those ILM days?
I don't blame you for wanting to recreate these costumes -- they're incredible. That bead net veil for Gaius Helen Mohiam -- WOW!
This is awesome I forgot how fun papier mache is. In school I made a couple of Papier-mache Mitochondria (the powerhousue of the cell) and they came out great and won the show.
Man, I learn so much from your videos - and not just about technique! - and then I get to learn even more in the comments. :] Now I just have to figure out what I want to make from papier mâche....
I am currently making a set of the Stones from the Fifth Element with plaster. I've had decent success, but I can tell I still have a lot to learn about using it.
Great work Adam savage you are an inspiration to me
Best music I've heard on one of your videos, and very cool process.
That was pretty good. Nicely done sir
Adam, I've watched this episode numerous times. I love it. I like it at around the 14-minute mark, yer mask takes a very Peter Gabrial - Genesis turn. I always get Suppers Ready stuck in my head when I think of Peter Gabrial. Thanks Savage 👍🤪
Well! That was Fun!
Great video, mask turned out amazing!
I’m a fan Adam I’ve been watching you ever since myth busters
"Run a coat of paint just to get to know it!" 54:09 ... A lesson of experience right there in 2 seconds... Thanks Adam. Super video.
We love Adam Savage 😍
A plaster mold tutorial would be good! I've used Ultracal60 for twenty five plus years and love the stuff. I use burlap as a mesh to add strength after the initial first two layers. Once the mold is pulled and dried for several days, I then clearcoat with paint. At that point, I can wax multiple times and then use a release agent and pull fiberglass (and even carbonfiber) parts from the mold. It is fast way to prototype parts or even small volume production items.
Great to see this work with paper - I do all my 3D/Sculptural works with paper pulp/mache and it's as strong as building materials when compressed and thick enough. I think the paper mache bug has hit Mr Savage. ;) btw 50/50 PVA to Water works exceptionally well. But even 20% is good.
There’s something rather pure about watching Adam make something, especially for the first time.
Yep make things from paper mache all the time!! I love the medium! I’ve made pumpkins, joker head bust, spell book, bats, scarecrow jacks, tombstones, witches, pumpkin dragon and many other things! I’m a huge Halloween fan and started with paper mache so I could make props for my yard display. I love your videos and watch most all of them. There is a medium called paper mache clay that those of us in the mache world use, that would have worked well in this application. It would have grabbed most of that detail you spent so much time on.. listen to me, lol as if I’m some kind of professional. I have no where close to the experience you have with creating things! Love your work
Back in the 90s I got a kit that included "glue" and instructions for using it directly on your face, ripped facial tissue and as it dried, it wrinkled. I totally freaked out a friend, on Halloween, that thought I'd been sick. It aged me about 25 to 30 years. Such fun
I believe this might have been a version of Collodion.
I'm literally starting my joker cosplay today (the version with the face as a mask) this it super convenient timing!
I learned from a master papier-mâché sculptor that paper towels are one of the best papers to work with. It’s worked for me.
I used paper towels for my train layout and it turned into concrete
This is awesome. Last time I did Papier Mache it was 2nd grade and made of newspaper strips and flour water. Oh, and does anyone else get late seasons SG1 Jack O'Neill vibes when he puts it on?
Nice! Love the music too!
I watch this channel to pick up tips on prop making and tools. I’m not strictly speaking a maker. I create costumes and props for my charters in my narrative paintings. I designed and fabricated more than 50 masks for the Black Circus Project. This is the first time I’ve wanted to teach you something... actually quite a few things.
And?
@@rtd1791 if you would like to know contact me and I’ll be happy to share. Ask Adam. Nothing is free
That thumbnail! Thought Gerry Bucey was visiting the shop
Yes, Adam, I think you should do a video on how to mix plaster.
You are such a blast to watch and listen to. I so appreciate you sharing. Oh and I gather you really hate those cups! Ha ha ha
This video will invaluable in 300 years when a cosplayer takes on the Adam Savage cosplay project, and is looking for good reference of the outer elbow. Look at that detail!
I love when you walk out of shot , it becomes a great where's Wally moment, or OOH what's that in the background.
Oh my gosh incredible.... And as I know as soon as you put that mask on it looked just like the MTV mad Max guy back in the 90s
that thumbnail is scary ! ty for the video adam !
Yeah 😅😅😂😂😂Great art project, but for cosplay, I say go with a silicone style mask.
I have a little experience with plaster mask molds, I helped make a negative mold from a monster clay sculpt. we used basic plaster of Paris which probably wasn't the best choice for how we molded it because it cured too fast on us and the edges of the mold got a bit weak. The mask was a half mask so it was only from chin to bridge of the nose and we ended up losing about half an inch or less off one of the sides but the latex mask we got out of it ended up amazing. We had 5 people trying to make this mask work since it was our fist try and I'm glad we didn't end up losing the mold because the sculpt was ruined after the plaster came off. The actress that used the mask for her costume ended up winning a pretty big contest aswell.
Love this so much! I still use Papier Mache as the base for all my masks; it's a wonderful process. I cheat and use cling film over my head form. One day I will not be so lazy and will do a cast first 😂 Great tip with the tissues though; I'd not heard of that before.
Amazing.
To get really high definition papier marche you can soak the plaster mold in molten wax, it will seal all pores and make the release easy.
beware that sealing the mold removes its main advantage: absorbing moisture, which helps speed up the drying and prevent some of the distortion.
Just awesome man!! you don’t give yourself enough credit!
That was terrifying. I love it
Would absolutely recommend Adam (and anyone really) watches Jonni from Ultimate Paper Mache. She's the sweetest old lady and an absolute innovator in the field of Papier-Mâché! One of my favorite makers
i read your comment, went to the search bar and only typed in 'ulti' before her channel popped up. i dont know how the algorithm does it, but it freaks me out. lol
Thats who I was watching before I got to this video hah
I wonder what level of detail you could get with a few surface layers of thin washi kozo before moving to the heavier brown paper.
Mrs Doubtfire vibes when you said you were going to turn yourself into an old woman 😂
It reminds me of doing fiberglass repair soak the long strips in resin and tap them down in
Didn't think I'd ever hear Adam say "I'm going to need to turn myself into a old woman"
Very good! ☺️😆😆
I reject your reality and substitute my own is one of my favorite phrases! nice to hear some back story!
The finished product gave me We Happy Few vibes and I love it.
Thank you 🖖🏿😎
I'm a sculpture so I can tell you the biggest differences in male and female faces is that male faces are longer and have a stronger brow ridge while female faces are wider and have stronger check bones. There are more differences and a lot of the time not all faces have all the features to a T so its ok if a face is kind of off because most real faces are imperfect too.
I'm a biologist and I can tell you one of the biggest differences is the forehead. That part of the skull is rounder in females and more square in males. But all the things you said are true too. Also, I think the nose should be narrower or slightly more delicate. I think that goes along with the face shape you were talking about.
I'm a sexist, and I can tell you the biggest difference in male and female faces, is one of them doesn't stop moaning and gossiping over trivial things like make up and nails
You're a what? A sculptor or a sculpture?
@@IsabellaCatherine19XX What if theyre both?
I'm a kitty cat
Yee gods.. You look like Kryten's Mother from Red Dwarf... (which incidentally is one of the reasons I began model making) otherwise what brilliant tips on papier mache making. You are the #1 maker proffesor on UA-cam . Thousands of people have been inspired to make stuff because of you, and your down to earth, easy going, general attitude of" hey this is how I learned how to..." Adam you're the best! keep making stuff dude!
That's an excellent Nick Nolte mask!! :O
Also, the very fish layer can be softer paper, even tissue paper works to get high details
Thank you..
Luv your hair!!! It's got that mad scientist thing goin on!! Don't change a thing!!! :)
When he finally put it on and you realise he has unintentionally made an amazing Gary Busey mask
Loved this. Now I want to go make puppets!
It so reminds me of the old school Halloween costumes with the mask and one piece jump suits.
Barth Mache is amazing.
"I'm not good at sculpting." Proceeds to create an amazing sculpture.
That was my first thought. It’s a million miles away from anything I could do!
We've finally found something even more exciting to watch than electrical wiring or sewing.
That turned out nice ..... Make one in Laytex for a facial movable form fitting mask would be surreal! LOLOL Have a good day!
At 30:15 it says you'll include a link to the Paper Maché puppet tutorial, but I don't see that link here.
that was fun.. Question does it matter what type of water your using? Tap, flat, distilled and so forth???
Nice 👌
Epic
Hi Adam have ever used paper clay and what are your thoughts if you did? I might build masks with it later.
3:12 "I think I'm getting a head of myself" lol
Has the link to the tutorial piece Adam refers to in the video been posted somewhere? Can't find it in the description.
My dad made a 3/4 mask of a Punisher/The Freeze-esque skull for Halloween back when he was barely out of high-school. Instead of using plaster or directly applying gunk to his face, he just cut up some chicken wire and pushed it against his head and face until he got something he liked. Then he layered strips of newspaper in a way that was structural over the chicken wire, and then kept applying thinner and thinner layers until he could mold the slop into a vaguely skeletal shape. He made some blobs for teeth and stuck them on, and then let it dry for I have no idea. When he was done painting it afterwards, it looked pretty real, real enough to spook some of his neighbors into thinking he was playing with a real skull at one point.
Years later when I found it in his garage and asked about it, I tried it on. Even as a kid it fit me almost as perfectly as it did him, and it was tough as stone.
I wonder what happened to that old thing...
What about making a pulp with the brown paper, maybe blend? It’ll allow more uniform layering.
Have you seen the HR Giger furniture that was designed for the original Dune movie? I've always wanted to build one the chairs he designed, they looked incredible!
