Library: Stoke Library, High School, Maidenhall Approach, Ipswich, IP2 8PL 31 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! About Lorna: Lorna-Jane Garside is an arts practitioner and actor based in Ipswich with a wealth of knowledge across both theatre and film. Lorna specialises in designing and delivering drama workshops with and for young people in and around Suffolk. Most recently Lorna has worked with The New Wolsey Theatre, Eastern Angels, SPILL, Suffolk New College, Latitude Festival and Suffolk Community Libraries. 7 April: Original Character Design Workshop with Illustrator Eloise Cookson Internal Brief Description: Whether this is the first time creating your own character or you already have existing characters, this workshop will support and level up your character designing skills! Eloise will first introduce some character design principles she uses in her own process with examples from animated media and comics. Throughout the day with different character designing activities, taking inspiration from objects, nature, as well as their own passions and interests, participants will explore how to practically incorporate these concepts when creating their original characters. By the end of the workshop, participants will go home with their character concepts & illustrations for the day, having created their characters and an idea for the world and story they live in. About Eloise: Eloise is a local artist who specialises in digital art. Her work takes inspiration from manga, graphic novels, video games and animation as well as alternative fashion communities she is a part of. As an artist who started drawing digitally from the age of 10, Eloise is deeply passionate about providing resources and guidance to young people with an interest in digital art. Eloise is also a dedicated member of the team at Stowmarket library and brings with her years of experience facilitating workshops and activity in the library space.

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.
