Lifecasting or bodycasting is an exciting and powerful artform that has been used for centuries to immortalize its subjects. Today's high-tech methods are streamlined and accurate enough to duplicate fingerprints, wrinkles, even eyelashes! And, unlike a photograph or painting, lifecast sculptures show the subject from every angle.

In this wild and fun workshop, internationally known artist Philip Hitchcock will cover the history and basics of lifecasting and demonstrate his amazing techniques using a live model. Then, in a hands-on lab, you and a partner will learn how to use a special fast drying impression medium to make lifecast sculptures of each other, (approximate size 14" x 14") and get expert tips on how to decoratively color, embellish and display your artwork.
