How can i get involved in Prosthetic Make up jobs?
With so many different influences governing the vast world of prosthetics it is no wonder that many people succeeding in the profession do so from different spheres. Many of the make-up courses advertised offer training in prosthetic manufacture and application which is vital to the trainee. At the least, this gives the make-up artist a knowledge of the creative process and the methodology involved, if not a passion to study further. The London College of Fashion offers a BA (Hons) Make Up and Prosthetics for the Performing Arts and their facilities are excellent. Many Fine Art courses exist up and down the country where vocational training is given in sculpture, drawing, painting and design. It is often during this form of education that the seeds are planted for further investigation into the art of Prosthetic Make-up. A course at the LCF may seem like an option but if you sense your skills require hands-on experience rather than further formal training then home tutoring is possible
