MONSTER MAKE-UP
Saturday, October 24th
6-8 PM
Get ready to get gory, gruesome, and creative! Join us at Scraphouse for a hands-on evening of special effects makeup with Trish Ward.
In this fun, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to transform ordinary makeup into ghoulish bruises, realistic cuts, scrapes, and abrasions—the essential ingredients for creating a convincing zombie or monster look. Trish will demonstrate easy techniques for building texture, dimension, discoloration, and realistic-looking wounds, then you’ll get to try the techniques yourself.
Whether you’re getting ready for Halloween, creating a costume, or simply want to learn the tricks behind movie-style monster makeup, you’ll leave with new skills and plenty of inspiration to make your next transformation seriously creepy!
No previous make-up experience necessary. Come create, experiment, and unleash your inner monster!
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Cost: $65 per person. includes materials
