Event description

Join us over May half-term for a free day-long workshop with special effects make‑up artist Vicky Sandison that plunges you into the art of bruises, cuts, scrapes, and all things delightfully gruesome.

Using only a small selection of accessible materials and beginner‑friendly techniques, Vicky will guide you through the process creating convincing bruising and swelling to crafting cuts, wounds, and blood effects.

Perfect for aspiring make‑up artists, horror enthusiasts, young filmmakers, or anyone curious about the secrets behind cinematic illusions, this workshop blends creativity with technical skill in a fun and supportive environment.

Creative You Junior is supported by Sunderland City Council’s Washington Area Committee.
