Join special effects makeup artist Ammanda Partridge for a 2-day intensive on prosthetic applications and SFX makeup! Ever wanted to learn the skills behind characters or gore in your favourite films, tv and theatre? Now’s your chance!
In this course, participants will learn the foundational skills of SFX makeup, including designing and sculpting their own prosthetic pieces, correctly molding and casting the pieces in silicone, preparing prosthetics for application, painting and matching skin-tones, and applying prosthetics.
