Venetian Ball this Weekend in Marin

The Osher Marin Jewish Community Center (JCC) invited me to be featured at their annual gala and auction, "A Night in Venice" this weekend. This is an exciting event because it's such a great group of people, it will definitely be a fun time!


I will be there Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9am to 4pm selling my hand-crafted, customized Venetian style masks.


Hope to see you all there!

Happy Holidays From MASK!

Jester Fever

Ending this year with a full schedule! 


Steve Pogni and his MASK team will be on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley next week, at the Ferry Plaza in San Francisco and several events (coming soon, maybe the Sea of Dreams again this year). 


These MASKs (shown here) are selling quickly this season, which are very popular for New Year's celebrations or collectible gifts for Christmas. 


Stop by to see our custom holiday masks. I'll try to get a photo of one, but they sell before I can get to the booth.


Wishing everyone a happy & safe holiday season!

Burning Man Wearable MASKs

What better place for a MASK party mask than at Burning Man 2011? This year 'Burners' kicked their Burning Man outfits up a notch with MASK face masks (check out the photos below). Anyone familiar with Burning Man -- a huge party out in the middle of the desert every Labor Day in Black Rock City, Nevada (not really a city but it becomes the second largest populated 'city' every September) -- knows that you can't "buy" anything, but you bring cool things or food or art to trade or give away. Italian-style, wearable masks are the perfect thing to give someone to give their Burning Man costume more flair! A masquerade mask will help bring out the creative side in any "look" and, of course, make it a fun experience.


Enjoy some of these photos of MASKS that could have been found on the Playa, particularly at camp Troy, where the Trojan Horse creators stayed.


And next year, swing by out booth to stock up, or call/email us to place an order!


Happy Burning Man celebration!

Ivy Beak

Here is where we will be the next few weekends:


Saturday and Sunday, August 20-21
Hayward Zucchini Festival at Kennedy Park in Hayward, CA. Annual event with live entertainment, and lots of zucchini everything. Maybe we'll even hand-make a zucchini mask!


Saturday and Sunday, August 27-28
Ferry Plaza, Embarcadero, San Francisco. L-o-v-e this spot. Inside the Ferry Building Marketplace, it's like an indoor gourmet farmer's market. On Sunday, there is an outdoor farmer's market. Right on the water, the view is beautiful.


Saturday and Sunday, September 3-4
Millbrae Art & Wine Festival, Broadway Ave, Millbrae, CA. I saw that almost 1,200 people liked it on their Facebook page, so it must be good!
