Foamsmithing Workshop (2 day)

Whether for cosplay or movie prop, the first step into costuming is selecting the material in which it will be constructed. In this two part series we will show you the basic tools and materials you’ll need to get started. Foam comes in all shapes, sizes, density and prices that will fit your budget. We’ll discuss what software to use and where to find easy ready-made templates. Part 1: Friday, November 6th Customize templates and select materials for fabrication. Students will cut the template and the foam in preparation for Part 2. Part 2: Friday, November 20th Assemble the project pieces using contact cement. Practice using the Dremel tool to clean seams and edges. Class Duration: 2 hours Age Requirements: 15 - Adult.
