Workshops & Training

Good craft isn't learned by watching – it's learned by doing. Special effects are a craft. That's why my workshops focus not only on theory but above all on hands-on experience. Together we work step by step on real projects and develop techniques that can be applied directly in practice.

Good craft isn't learned by watching – it's learned by doing. Special effects are a craft. That's why my workshops focus not only on theory but above all on hands-on experience. Together we work step by step on real projects and develop techniques that can be applied directly in practice.

Overview

The SFX workshops offer a structured, hands-on introduction to the world of special effects. Participants get to know professional techniques, materials and workflows used in film, television, theatre and cosplay productions.

Depending on the experience level, the content ranges from simple injury effects and skin effects to the development of complex character and creature prosthetics. Particular emphasis is placed on practical work, so that participants not only gain theoretical knowledge but can also realize their own effects and prosthetics independently.

The workshops can be held as individual coaching, group training, corporate seminars or multi-day intensive courses. Scope, content and difficulty level are tailored individually to the target group.

Scope of services

  • Individually tailored workshop content

  • Hands-on learning

  • Professional demonstrations

  • Material and tool knowledge

  • Guidance throughout all exercises

  • Individual feedback

  • Beginner to professional level

  • Individual or group training

  • On-site or in-house workshops

Price range

Typical workshop budgets range between €500 and €5,000+, depending on duration, number of participants, material use, venue and range of topics.

Larger groups, multi-day intensive courses or individually developed training concepts are quoted separately.

Special effects are best learned by developing and executing them yourself.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you and supporting you on your path in special-effects make-up.
