Special Effects Makeup/Prosthetics Course PDF Print E-mail
Written by Makeup Special Effects and Prosthetics   
Our intensive courses are specifically designed to give students an in depth and hands-on understanding of Prosthetics techniques and will cover everything from basic sculpting and mould making through to the final manufacture, painting and application. While working on a personal course project, students will learn, first hand, the basic principals and techniques used throughout todays television and movie industries worldwide.

 

Continual guidance throughout the entire course allows the student to create and develop their own project prosthetic from scratch and to end the course with a finished piece worthy of any portfolio.

Each course has been personally created by Davy Jones and is designed to ensure that students develop a prosthetic make up skillset that will serve them well as they enter, what is undoubtedly a unique and demanding profession.
