Workshop details: Library: Chantry Library, Hawthorn Drive, Ipswich, IP2 0QY 30 March: Special Effects Make Up with Artist Lorna Garside 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! We'll be exploring character development, coming up with the most creative, off the wall fantasy characters and designing their look. We'll use professional standard SFX makeup to recreate our designs, bringing our characters to life!

Wendy Barrett
Often seen with foraging for craft materials.
I started working as a Nursery Nurse. Now at Chantry Library, I enjoy working with children of all ages encouraging imagination learning through play about the environment and nature using recyclable craft materials. Its surprising what you can make with an old box or milk carton. I also love books.
Georgia
Library and Information Advisor
Here to support the young people attending, and artists providing our Blank Page Project workshops. I look forward to seeing you all and having a fun time during our workshops
Diane Roe
Love words and paint!
The power of the word through literature is vital, and I believe empowers the individual. The act of making art like-wise.
Hannah Tovell
Library and Information Advisor
I love to help others and I love to read, so I combined the two!

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
