INTENSIVE COURSE - INTRODUCTION TO WIGMAKING (NEW DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED)

Wigmaking is not just the art of creating wigs and extensions; it is a unique, transformative art form that combines craftsmanship, boundless creativity and a deep knowledge of history and aesthetics. It is an essential tool for telling stories, defining characters and transporting audiences to distant worlds or bygone eras – in other words, for bringing characters to life.

Thanks to wigmaking, we can make a character's look more real and give it more life.

If you have ever wondered how wigs (which cover the whole head) are made, or what techniques are used to make a hairpiece (which only covers or adorns one area), this is the ideal course to begin your journey into the world of wigmaking.

Content:

• Taking head measurements
• Making templates for facial and head hairpieces
• Types of hair
• Wigmaking techniques: weaving and knotting
• Making crêpe hair
• Promontories

Work to be carried out on the course:

• Head template and record card
• Facial template for a beard
• Weaving and knotting practice
• Making crêpe hair
• Making a promontory

Now, you may be wondering what is a promontory? It is a frame, usually made of wire mesh, used to support the structure of very tall or voluminous hairstyles – in other words, prostheses or effects that are built into a fantasy wig and then covered with fabrics and fitted with fantasy hairpieces or elements.
