     Workshops are all hands-on.  A small class size ensures maximum tutor attention, and you'll learn by doing the whole process yourself. With your tutor alongside, you'll learn first hand how to use the various materials and techniques.

 

     You will be provided with notes detailing the materials used and a supplier list and other useful information.  These notes are to help you to continue using the techniques long after the course has finished.  You can continue to contact us for advice, reminders and help in the future.

 

     I run short courses - usually one, two and three day duration suitable for beginners and for those with some experience. These workshops will show you the methods and techniques involved in cutting edge materials and processes in a short space of time.  Look out for new workshops and courses - signing up to the mini ecourse will help ensure you are kept up to date when new workshops are announced.

 

• The one day workshop:  Covers a simple but highly effective method for sculpting, moulding and casting generic appliances in both silicone gel and gelatine which we will then apply.

   

• The three day workshop: Includes all the above, as well as life casting in silicone and alginate. From these life casts, custom appliances are made and applied.

• New workshops: As new materials, processes or demands crop up, I intend to address these by having new workshops to meet these needs.  Stay up to date by signing up to the mini ecourse and exclusive mailing list.
