About

Join us this Halloween at the Laing Art Gallery for our Spooky Special Effects make up class. 

Young people aged 7-12 years old will get the chance to work with Special Effects Make Up Artist and teacher Over the Winks  and learn how to transform themselves in time for Halloween. 

All equipment will be provided and attendees will have the chance to practice before creating their own looks. 

One parent/guardian per child is welcome to attend to assist their young person, however the materials and equipment are strictly for the young people to use.

Young people may also attend the event independently without an adult, however we do require an emergency contact form to be complete when dropped off at the event. A member of the Laing Learning Team will also be on hand at the event.
