Workshops

Contact MuseumAnatomy@gmail.com to find out more information on creating a collaborative workshop based on Museum Anatomy for your school or workplace.

Workshops require a minimum of one week for the casting process.  If you would prefer a complete Museum Anatomy casting and painting workshop, up two weeks are required. We do travel and can recommend how to find materials in your location.

Below are images from preliminary casts for our own artwork, and workshops  from the following locations: Chadwick & Spector Studio (2015-16), Kingwood College (2014), Art League Houston (2013-present), Dallas International School, Dallas, TX (2012), and The Hong Kong Art Fair, Sovereign Art Foundation booth, Hong Kong International School. (2011). Photos of process are also included.
