I make clay masks adorned with deer antlers and horns in my studio on Mayne Island, BC, which I opened in the fall of 2013. Most of my masks are pagan in appearance, and make a political or social statement. My masks can be found in the Mask Gallery https://georgebathgate.com/portfolio/ and if you click on each mask you’ll find image enlargements and descriptions which will explain the thought process behind the creation of each mask.

The antlers have been sourced from either black-tail or fallow deer, and the horns are from bighorn sheep. The masks have either been glazed and fired or fired and painted.

The masks are available for viewing or purchase at my Studio/Gallery/Cafe  https://georgebathgate.com/studio/  and would make interesting gifts or keepsakes from your trip to the beautiful Gulf Islands on the West Coast of British Columbia.
