Wig Making and A Complete Guide for Theatre and Film, Second Edition is the one-stop shop for the knowledge and skills you need to create and style wigs. Covering the basics, from styling tools to creating beards, it ramps up to advanced techniques for making, measuring, coloring, and cutting wigs from any time period. Whether you’re a student or a professional, you‘ll find yourself prepared for a career as a skilled wig designer with tips on altering existing wigs, multiple approaches to solving wig-making problems, and industry best practices.
This book is extremely informative and helpful for both beginners, and artisans at the craft. It does a great job of laying everything out in a way that is descriptive but doesn’t feel overwhelming, and doesn’t feel like it’s missing out on information. I have the second edition of this textbook, and I feel like it goes even deeper into wig making than the first edition- I highly recommend picking up that edition if you are able.
