Interview with the artist Stephanie Raudsepp
1. When did you start making the face masks? What inspired you? Are some of your face masks unique?
What materials are you using? How many layers? Where did you get the design?
What advice would you give to a person who would be interested to make their own face mask?
I began making face masks in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Quebec, it is mandatory to wear a mask in all public spaces as of mid-July. I had been doing so myself for many months already. However, wearing disposable masks or scarves (back in March when it was still cold) is not sustainable, for myself or the environment.
I have also been running a hand-crafted stationery design business which had been flattened, like so many others, when the pandemic hit.
