Gory Stories: Special Effects Makeup Workshop with Lorna-Jane Garside

Sudbury Library
Apr 15, 2025 9:45 AM

Join arts practitioner Lorna-Jane Garside for this creative workshop for 10-16 year olds at Sudbury Library. Learn how to create your own gory special effects makeup looks! This workshop is part of The Blank Page Project.

Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include lunch, drinks and snacks!

Learn how to create your own cuts, bruises and gory special effects makeup looks!  

Participants will learn how to create the gory looks they've seen on stage and screen. You'll be making your own stage blood, creating latex prosthetics, and learning how to apply cuts and bruises. We'll build the weirdest and most creative story we can think of and design the special effects to go along with it!
