Tanglwyst de Holloway, aka Tonya Adolfson, teaches panels on everything from making your own patterns to basic armor creation, from character creation to proper flirting. She's been a professional costumer since 1988 and has worked in the costume shops of Southern Utah University and the Utah Shakespearean Festival. Tangl has done wigs, make up, props and movement for the stage, and turned her impressive set of skills to teaching at Society for Creative Anachronism events. She fell in love with Steampunk while doing panels at conventions, and has thrown herself fully into this intriguing genre. Luckily, many of her skills apply very well to the re-imaginative world of Steampunk and she adores the innovation and freedom Steampunk allows.

Eric Smart is a tinker of creation. His specialty is prop building, predominately out of wood. He has learned over the years how to utilize materials to help create replicated props. He has been picking up his skills from his father who started as a carpenter when he was 14 and as an individual that is a jack of all trades. Eric started in 2006 by creating the Magun from Final Fantasy Unlimited and has been going ever since. Some creations he has under his belt are: the Sitar and keyblades from Kingdom Hearts, the buster sword from Final Fantasy 7, Soul scythe from Soul Eater, the Ax Bass from Adventure Time and some original Steampunk creations of his own.

Who is this fine piece of lady-meat you see here? Well, this, friends, is Caitlyn Bridges: Connoisseur of Fine Makeup and Even Finer SFX. She’s far from a professional, but she’s been dabbling in the righteous art of makeuping for about three years now and has accumulated a variety of skills and techniques, mostly from YouTube videos, and maybe from some dubious back-alley operations whose sponsors will remain unnamed. Caitlyn can cover everything from beauty makeup (like those rocking honeys you see on the cover of People), to gorey, bloody, oozing, pus-ridden makeup that’s just crazy-nasty. A miniscule budget has kept her from the glorious altar of professional makeup products, so she improvises often to get the job done. The green-skinned Orions from Star Trek, Batman’s Harley Quinn, as well as numerous zombies and scarred-up faces, and even facial hair, can be chalked up on the list of makeup Caitlyn has done.

Borneo, as a convention chairman has been exposed to all manner of cosplay technologies and techniques for achieving the perfect cosplay.  For the last decade he has gathered as much information he could about the creation process and how to make it cost effective and functional.   He will be joining us to share his knowledge of the 'science of cosplay'.
