Special Effects Makeup Intensive starting June 11!!

This June, the Kansas City Horror Club will be hosting a series of seminars at the Westport Coffeehouse Theater taught by special effects makeup artist Micah Williams, a graduate of the Tom Savini School of Special Effects.

I spent many hours in the chair with Micah. He's amazing!
This series will take you through the entire process of creating latex appliances, and will give you all the information you need to create your own makeup effects (i.e. materials lists, and a list of links to shop online), and you'll be able to watch practical demonstrations of each part of the process, and learn tricks of the trade that you won't find anywhere else! This is how the pro's do it!

We'll be offering this series for the incredibly low cost of $30 for all three seminars! Class size is limited, so reserve your seat ASAP!!

  1. I need to know exactly how much the materials will cost. I already have some Latex. My Fiance and I are moving after our wedding, and therefore are literally budgeting down to the dollar. Thanks! I REALLY want to do this!!!

    1. There are no material costs associated with this Seminar. You will get a packet that will have all the information you need to do it yourself, including the costs associated with it, and recommended sources.

  2. Will this class be offered again at a later date? I'm in Afghanistan till DEC, but if I were in town, I'd definitely be there.
