Facial Reconstruction 15th August

Facial Reconstruction Workshop

Following a huge amount of interest, Bugs, Bones & Botany CIC is excited to announce another adult Facial Reconstruction Workshop evening.

Surrounded by nature at Dorset Falconry Park, this workshop will be held in the park's cosy café, giving you the chance to enjoy both the peaceful surroundings and an evening of hands-on forensic science.

These relaxed, hands-on workshops explore how faces can be reconstructed from skeletal remains using a combination of anatomy, osteology, forensic science, archaeology and artistic interpretation.

Perfect for anyone interested in:

• anatomy and bones
• archaeology and history
• forensic science
• museums and conservation
• art and sculpture
• true crime and investigations
• or simply learning something fascinating and different

No previous experience is needed, just curiosity and an open mind.

During the evening we’ll explore, through a short presentation and guided discussion:

• how skulls help shape a face
• tissue depth and facial structure
• the history and science behind reconstruction
• how experts rebuild faces from skeletal remains
• fascinating real-world examples and case studies

Expect a relaxed atmosphere, small group sizes, plenty of tea and coffee, biscuits and lots of opportunity for questions and conversation throughout the evening.
