Students will begin by lifecasting their own faces, creating the foundation for their custom character prosthetic designs. Throughout the course, students will learn the process of molding and casting their stone positives, which they will then use to sculpt their prosthetic designs.

Students will take home their completed lifecast and mold at the end of the course.

Professional Portfolio Photos Included

As part of the course, students will have the opportunity to participate in a professional photoshoot of their finished character designs during the final application day.

Each student will receive up to 5 professional photos of their completed looks, photographed by professional photographer Anthony Videira. These finished images are a great addition to your portfolio and allow you to showcase the character prosthetics you created throughout the course.
