Cool

For information about Betty's workshops, search SKULLpturelab. There is no better training in sculptural facial reconstruction available anywhere.

Betty Pat is the absolute best. If you ever have the opportunity, take one of her classes.

Awesome.

That's awesome! Forensic art is something I've always had an interest in. I almost wish I had gone in that direction of my career.

When forensic art contributes to history and identifies (potentially, as much as we can know at the time) a famous or beloved historic figure who went missing, etc, that just might be forensic reconstruction at its best! I just wish I could see this albeit "artsy" science applied more often in conjunction to archaeological finds, like the Neanderthal remains whose origins escape me at the moment !
