College of West Anglia Media Make-up and Media students learnt how to make prosthesis during a 2-day series of workshops held by the company, Bentley Advanced Materials (BAM).

The event was help at the King’s Lynn campus, which saw over 60 students learn how protheses and life castings are made for the film industry and how special effects are created, from a range of methods and different materials.

CWA Programme Manager for Art & Design at King’s Lynn, Paul Gibson, said:

“Bentley have previously visited the college and it was so well-received, we invited them back to give more of our students the opportunity to learn new skills and more about an industry that they might not usually be exposed to be.”

During the workshop, students made a wide range of objects from small character models to flowers, logos and mocking up realistic-looking cuts and bruises. Students used a mixture of materials and make-up to achieve realistic special effects.

Event organiser, Matthew Jessop, said:

“The workshop gave the students great insight into how special effects are made and allowed them the opportunity to create them for themselves. The students used a wide variety of liquid plastic casting resins to create objects from pre-done moulds, which they were all eager to get involved with.”
