Production stages
From a printed piece to a finished mask
Each stage prepares the next. Printing creates the base, while workshop work gives it its surface, colour and finish.

Finishing and inspection
The piece receives its final protection, then is checked before packing.
In the workshop
Every mask actually goes through the workshop
3D printing is only the starting point. Once printed, I remove the supports, prepare and sand the surfaces, then paint, detail and finish each piece by hand in Brittany.
