props
sculpture | mouldmaking and casting
Bespoke sculptural prop making for theatre, opera, ballet and TV productions.
Often involving polystyrene, Jesmonite or GRP
Previous work has also included a few trick props/SFX - ie :
- A sword mould for “Siegfried” (Scottish Opera 2002) which had to be dropped every performance & break open instantly to reveal a sword blade
- A mask for “Pinocchio” (2006) which needed quickly exchangeable noses (a magnet system proved the solution)
- A "magic" rose for "Beauty & the Beast" (SECC 2008) which had to drop its petals on cue throughout the performance. (Now available for hire)
- A crown of thorns for "Neds" (film; director Peter Mullan, 2009) - made as exact replica of like original spiky crown of thorns, but worn by actor/used in a fight scene and so made in foam & glue to be soft/safe
