What people are saying about ikervolk face masks
Article by Bob Shaw
March 30, 2020, I made a face mask with a merv-13 filter to protect myself. Friends saw the mask and placed requests for their own face masks. Shortly after that the CDC suggested that everyone wear cloth masks. April 10th, 2020 This article by Bob and Shaw and John Autey, appeared in the St Paul Pioneer Press. 30 Days later I am employing 12 people and together we make cloth masks and filter face masks. I get requests from people who have immune system problems, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, asthma, or other underlying conditions, and people who have to travel by airline, or work in near proximity to covid patients, as well as people who are concerned about being "silent spreaders"
I made a mask to protect myself
When I put the mask on I realized that it was about much more than protection, it was about identity.
The First Batch
I shared my masks on Facebook and soon I was making masks for people with all kinds of requests.
Leaping into Production
I now have several artists and musicians employed at a time when their regular jobs have disappeared. We are committed to making simple, durable, effective masks for as many people as possible.
