Learn the Art of Mask Making and Sculpture techniques for Film, TV, Theater, Cosplay, Halloween, Haunt, & the Collectibles Industry from the Professional FX Artists of Kosart Studios.

A mask can be much more than just a work of art.  A mask can instantly transform a person into someone or something else.  Since humans first walked on earth, mask making has been one of the earliest forms of art.  In almost every culture, masks have been used for ceremony, disguise, protection from evil, and for entertainment.  In our own culture today, masks are not just for Halloween, cosplay, and haunted attractions, but also used in the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror genres in film, television and theater.  Many professional sculptors make a living as mask makers, and many of today's leading SPFX Artists got their start sculpting masks.  It is where they learned creature and character design, facial expression and anatomy, exaggeration of facial features, various textures, and all the sculpting and lab techniques that come with it.  This mask making class is designed equally for the novice who has never had their hands in clay as well as for the seasoned artist, from hobbyists and mask enthusiasts to professional sculptors alike.  Even professional make-up artists, toy makers, illustrators, art directors, stop-motion animators, art teachers, etc, have taken this class at Kosart Studios.  This mask making class is for you, and it all starts here.
