Props

Use the arrows to scroll through the props I have made either for productions or just for fun. Each image contains details about the production and how the prop was created.

"Much Ado About Nothing", Pendley Shakespeare Festival, August 2018

Under direction from the designer, I learnt how to draw in a traditional pub sign font. I transferred this onto the pub sign used in the production. The final painting was completed by the assistant designer.

'Gift of the Gab', White Bear Theatre, May 2018.

Both items are made from grey and red air dry clay. The sausages were then given a sponge coat of paint to make them look cooked.

'I'd Rather Go Blind'
Omnibus Theatre, Clapham. October 2019

A red velvet cake was needed for the run of 'I'd Rather Go Blind'.
The cake is made from a polyester cake mold, and is coloured by red/black paint. To create the icing, I used a bathroom sealant that kept it's soft 'icing' look even once dry.
