IMATS London 2012 Make-up Museum: Curator Adrian RigbyThe curator for the 2013 museum will be Adrian Rigby, who took over from longtime curator Cliff Wallace in 2012. He will be assisted by make-up effects artist Robb Crafer.

 

A former postman for the United Kingdom’s Royal Mail, Rigby trained as a make-up artist in 1995 at Preston College in Lancashire. After taking one of Nick Dudman's short prosthetic make-up courses, Rigby got a job on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in 2001.

 

He continued to work for Dudman as a prosthetic make-up artist and wigmaker, through the final Harry Potter films. More recent work includes War Horse and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Rigby recently finished work for Mark Coulier’s Coulier Creatures, doing prosthetic make-up applications for the TV show Merlin. He also spent six months working on the upcoming zombie film World War Z.
