Special FX Movie Make Up Workshop
My experience was excellent and I enjoyed the instructor and business partners. The only trouble I had was my hands felt frostbitten due to the air conditioning unit. Even though they asked if we wanted to have the unit turned down, I didn't want to cause problems being the only one complaining. Overall, I would definitely take classes with them again. -
