DETROIT,MI—
The
Michigan Embalm-
ers Society
held its annual Fall Seminar at
Wayne State University’s
Mortuary Science
Building on Friday, November 2.
Daryl
Hammond
, founder of
DMH Mortuary
Airbrush Cosmetic Systems
, delivered a
daylong seminar to an eager group of practi-
tioners. During the morning session, “Mor-
tuary Airbrushing: Putting a New Face on
Restorative Art,” Hammond revealed nu-
merous important aspects of airbrushing
learned over two decades as an embalmer
and restorative artist. He addressed the ba-
sics of airbrushing, demonstrating his tech-
niques on his own unique creations, mod-
el restorative art heads. Hammond added,
“The models are exact replicas of my two
biggest fans: mom and dad. Both are alive
and well, and living in Georgia!”
Following lunch and a tour of the mor-
tuary science facility, participants filled the
embalming suite to try their own hands at airbrushing. Nu-
merous restorative art model heads and two decedents oc-
cupied the six embalming tables in the lab. Hammond
showed the group how to assemble and operate the air-
brushing equipment. He dispelled many fears about clean-
ing the apparatus, especially in caring for the airbrush spray-
ers with their delicate moving parts. “With proper care, you
should never need to take the gun apart. But if you do, call
me and I’ll walk you through the process,” offered Ham-
number for a wine bottle
chest, fashioned of cher-
ry wood in the shape of a
casket, donated by
Richard
Steele
of
H. S. Eckels and
Company, Ltd
. Katie is a
recent graduate of the Mor-
tuary Science Program. A
“six pack” of Multi Closures
went to
Anna Warnstrom
,
a current student in the
program and an assortment
of mortuary restorative
waxes to Wayne State alum,
Heather Aboud
, both gift
sets furnished by The Michigan Embalmers Society.
