This full-day (7-hour) hominin facial reconstruction workshop focuses on Homo erectus and is designed for medical artists who want to deepen their anatomical understanding of facial reconstruction through hands-on making. Participants will create a facial approximation layer by layer, sculpting each facial muscle in turn onto a prepared 3D-printed skull. Wax and materials are provided, and completed reconstructions can be taken home at the end of the day.
