Workshop

3D Forensic Facial Reconstruction (Two-Day Workshop)

PLEASE NOTE: Sunday is a half-day from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Led by Jenny Kenyon, ADRI Research Associate and Forensic Artist

Join Forensic Artist Jenny Kenyon for a two-day workshop in Forensic Facial Reconstruction. Participants will begin with a 3D print of a skull and, working in teams, will perform an anthropological assessment of gender, age, ancestry, and build. Using scientific soft tissue data and the Manchester/British Method of facial reconstruction, the teams will use pegs and clay to reconstruct the face of the individual over the course of the workshop. Supplies and tools will be provided, and no prior facial reconstruction experience is needed.

The Manchester/British method was developed by Richard Neave in 1977 and is the most accepted method for facial reconstruction today. This method has been used in many famous reconstructions including Phillip II of Macedon, Johann Sebastian Bach, Saint Nicholas, Robert the Bruce, and King Richard III. Registration is required as space is limited.
