Students explore new materials, practice fine motor skills, apply critical thinking and develop original artworks. All activities encourage creativity while supporting educational goals in a fun and motivating way.

Safety is a top priority in our studio. All students are given an allergy test for any unknown reactions together with being guided through SPFX safety practices before using any materials. We provide child-friendly versions of professional tools and ensure all products used are safe for skin and appropriate for young learners. Our qualified educators supervise all activities closely and small group sizes mean we can offer personal guidance at every step.

Not at all. Our program is designed for beginners and is perfect for home learners who are exploring SPFX for the first time. We start with simple, achievable techniques and build skills progressively. Each session includes live demonstrations, clear instructions and hands-on support so that every student can succeed regardless of their prior experience

Yes. Every student will receive a certificate of completion to recognise their participation and achievement in the program. In the 8-week course, students also keep the prosthetic mould they create so they can continue experimenting at home. This is a great way to encourage ongoing learning and creative exploration beyond the program.

All essential products and materials are provided during the workshop, including professional SPFX tools, scar wax, silicone, paints and brushes. Students will have full access to everything they need for their projects while working in the studio.

We don’t sell kits onsite but we’re happy to guide you towards cost-effective, good-quality kits that include everything your child needs to keep practicing at home. Just ask us during the workshop or at the time of booking and we’ll happily provide recommendations.
