I am a collector of masks and am very interested in purchasing at least one mask in either the style of the Santiago or the La Vega Mask-makers. I would also like to visit one or more of the maskmakers to see them at work in their shop/casa. To that end ...
Where can I find the best selection of Carnaval masks to purchase, both in Santiago and in La Vega?
Can any one direct me to talented maskmakers who would welcome a visitor, someone interested in their work who would like to photograph them toiling at their craft? I am looking for very specific contact information.
I will be visiting the area in early to mid October. I'm not sure if the craftsmen are busy making masks that time of year. Are they?
