Congratulations to Caleb Potter who is our "In the Spotlight" recipient! Caleb is a role model student at DEC and a wonderful work study.
“Caleb is an amazing artist—just a really good makeup artist, and he's becoming really good at creating silicone prosthetics. He’s just amazing. Really, he’s a natural with these types of molds. They're very complicated molds they have to make. He’s just awesome.” - Jerry Gergely Director of Tom Savini's Special Make Up Effects Program

4th-semester Tom Savini's Special Make Up Effects Program student Lucia Antonetti-Tesoriero recently contributed her talent and dedication to Avonworth High School’s production of The Phantom of the Opera and her work truly stood out!
This was a major project, and Lucia went above and beyond from start to finish. She began preparing more than a month in advance, creating a custom bald cap for the lead character. For each performance, she expertly applied the prosthetic and hand-crafted the Phantom’s iconic mask herself.
Her dedication, skill, and professionalism throughout the entire production were nothing short of exceptional. Great work Lucia!
