Workshop · Day 4 · Sun 25 October 2026, 11:00 am – 12:45 pm · Aljada, Sharjah
Making Monsters is a hands-on workshop exploring the transformation of creature designs from sketches and concept art into believable, physical characters for the screen. Led by Hair, Makeup & Prosthetics Designer and SFX Artist Theodore Salisbury, the session features a live demonstration of professional prosthetic application, offering an inside look at the craft behind practical effects.
Key points include sculpting and mould-making techniques, material selection and texture creation, and methods for achieving realistic skin tones and seamless edge blending. By the end of this workshop, attendees will understand the full process of bringing two-dimensional character concepts to life with practical effects, gaining skills relevant to both studio and independent productions.
