Skull Workshop by Lauren Baker
What a great idea! I wish I had thought of it first TBH but I guess I’ll just have to get over it and go have some fun creating a cool skull at the Lauren Baker Skull Workshop.
Lauren’s skull workshop was a huge hit at Tate Modern where 200 participants decorated skulls. Plus her previous workshops at Hoxton Hotel, Shoreditch House and Museum of Pathology were all fully booked. You should probably go.
The Workshop includes:
- 3.5 hour workshop includes materials and refreshments
- Learn about the use of skulls in art
- Hear about Lauren Baker’s journey of skull art
- Use a diverse range of materials to paint and embellish your skull
- Take your finished skull art home
When: Saturday 27 April 2013
Time: 14:00 – 17:30
Where: Barts Pathology Museum

Baby Skull Lamp by Norrin Radd
I actually shared this on our Facebook page already but added it to the list as it needed to feature on the society wall of appreciation. This sculpted baby skull lamp has been created by Norrin Radd and is cast in herculite plaster, brass or silver paint finish. The lamp consists of 33 unique skulls in total – the detail shot below shows one of the skulls, which actually looks like a tortoise!
You can visit Norrin Radd’s profile here on Etsy. His collection also includes a lamp which consists of boobs, which is pretty cool too.
Malin Isaksson’s Skull
This gorgeous golden melting skull is by Swedish-born artist Malin Isaksson. It was spotted at the Stockholm Furniture Fair and is called ‘He Who Laughs Last, Laughs Longest.’
The skull was water-gilded with 23.75 karat gold and made of plaster, clay, gesso and bole.
3-dimensional Skull by Scott Campbell
This 3-dimensional skull, by tattoo artist Scott Campbell, was part of Noblesse Oblige art show in LA and is comprised of a stack of $11,000 in cut, un-cut currency sheets.
Funnily enough I have seen this skull before and was meant to post about it ages ago too. Better late than never yeah
D-Sturbed’s Paper Skull Concept
This beautifully crafted paper skull design was created by Matthieu Jacobs from D-Sturbed. The origami influence is evident here and we are loving this skull design.
Li Hongbo – Pure White Paper
Li Hongbo uses layers of paper to create life-size flexible art sculpures. This video shows a variety of his work, including a skull piece, and talks about his latest exhibition, aptly named Pure White Paper, at the Dominik Mersch Gallery in Sydney Australia.
