Unique special FX masterclass taking place in Grimsby

The University Centre Grimsby (UCG) are offering a unique opportunity to participate in a special effects make-up masterclass later this month.

Hosted by the industry-experienced lecturing team based at the UCG, part of the TEC Partnership, participants can expect to gain hands-on experience recreating realistic special effects make-up injuries; alongside an introduction to sculpting skills.

Running between 10am and 3pm on Monday 12th June, in the UCG’s specialist workshops, this opportunity would be of interest to those wishing to pursue a career working in special effects make-up for TV and film. Particularly those who are studying art currently at college or sixth form.

“The masterclass will be an opportunity for people to see behind the scenes secrets from screen and stage,” says Hayley Young, programme leader.

The UCG offer a wide range of degrees, with an increase this year in people applying to study for a higher education qualification within their local area.

The benefits of studying for a degree on your doorstep include lower course fees and the opportunity to live at home, which means you save on accommodate fees.

The day will close with a structured Q&A with the lecturers and support staff, many of whom have worked in film, television and theatre.

Hayley adds, “this is an opportunity to get answers to enquiries you may have about the special effects make-up and design; and prosthetics degrees or any queries directly about starting a career within this industry.”
