FX Classes now Taught from My New Studio!

It has been an exciting start to 2011 so far, and I am proud to announce the new location of Kosart Effects Studios, my very first studio space outside the home! It is an awesome 2,600 square foot gallery/studio/workshop located in Westmont, IL, and I am excited for this giant leap towards my creative future, and future of Kosart Effects Studios! Once things get in order, with the gallery and studio all set up, I will be having an Open House & Gallery Exhibition sometime in the next few months, so keep posted!

However, beginning this upcoming Saturday, April 2nd, Kosart Effects Studios is proud to present its first FX Course: The Art of Mask Making sponsored by Blick Art Materials and Zagone Studios. The second course in May (TBA) will be "The Art of Make-Up FX."
