Monster Makers offers our highest endorsement and recommendation for these seminars! You can enroll in a high priced fx program, or you can learn from the best instructor around and not go into debt in the process!"

President of
The Monster Makers
, Sponsor of Kosart Atelier
**************
"Anthony doesn't just demo a technique and then let you try it out. Anthony explains WHY you use the techniques that you use, WHEN to use one technique over another, and HOW everything comes together to make a finished piece. In Anthony's classes, you don't just watch and repeat...you learn, so that you can continue to refine the skills that you are taught once the classes are over. It's awesome that every class is overflowing with practical application, and then on top of that, you also get to take home all of the materials and tools that you would need to do MORE work at home on your own."
~MATT HOFFMAN
(BIG BROTHER Season 12, & Kosart Atelier Student)
**************
"I learned a great deal more useful techniques in this short amount of time than any semester-long make-up course I've taken."
~ JUSTINE LOSOYA
(Professional MUA, Columbia College Gratuate, & Kosart Atelier Student)

Some words from Stevie:
"My love for makeup began while working for haunted houses as an actor; it was there that I discovered that I love to create creatures just as much as I like being them! That is where my journey began and at home I tirelessly began to teach myself special effects. As time went on, it became clear that the most effective way for me to grow as an artist would be to take professional classes. However, with a full time job, I needed something that fit into my schedule and was still affordable - that is when I found Kosart Atelier. Despite my lack of experience, I found the classes to be fun, easy to follow and informative... I was immediately hooked. The classes were always fun and relaxing, and I was learning more in single weekends than I could ever teach myself. Within a short period of time I became the lead makeup artist at The Realm of Terror and thanks to the classes at Kosart - I had achieved my goal...
"I took my first class three years ago, and have since taken every class offered. I've not only grown as an artist, but as a person, and have gained more than I could have ever dreamed I would. The concept of being good enough to compete on Face Off didn't even seem fathomable, I'm still often convinced that it was all just a dream. Dream or not, I know I have Anthony to thank for teaching me everything I know about special effects and pushing me to finally audition. What was once a weekend hobby has transformed into a full time career and even more, a lifelong passion."

Some words from Dina:
"I first stumbled upon Kosart Atelier when I was walking around C2E2. I had been decorating cakes for about 10 years, but was looking for new ways to express myself as an artist. The Kosart booth had a bunch of masks on display that really grabbed my attention. I had never tried anything like that before, and was really excited to sign up for classes and try something new! The first class I took was Art of Mask Making. It was my first time sculpting clay along with others in the class. I loved the feeling of being in class again. It was a great way to learn new things without having to quit my job and go to a full time school. A girl has to pay her bills! The class was everything I wanted it to be: informative, fun and in a non-intimidating environment. I was never embarrassed to ask questions, and you just feel a lot of support from both the teacher and students. I felt more inspired than I ever have before! I couldn't wait to sign up for more classes. I ended up taking Advanced Mask Making, On-Skin Silicone FX, Art of Make-up FX, Advanced Make-Up FX and Airbrush FX. I can't believe how much I learned in these classes that were just a few days long!"
"I was finally excited about creating art again. I think I really found out who I am as an artist through the classes. When I wasn't in class, I was at home sculpting new things. I wanted to get better and find out if this was in fact my calling. I think Anthony noticed how much I fell in love with SFX, and ended up convincing me to be on Face Off. Two years ago I had never even sculpted clay. One year ago I did my first makeup in class. Now I sit here as the new Face Off Champ, and I definitely owe Kosart Atelier a giant thank you. They taught me everything I needed to know to help me get through the competition, and gave me the confidence I needed to get me there in the first place. I never would have considered doing the show without Anthony giving me that push. Kosart Atelier made me realize what I want to do with my life, and I can't thank them enough. Even if you're not looking to make SFX your career, the classes are such a great way to just get away from normal life for a second and create something you're proud of. Great company, good tunes and freaking monsters! You can't beat that."
