This page features the different props I have made throughout my first year at University. We have used a vast range of materials so far including:
kingspan installation foam. - silicone. - cardboards. - poly carving
With these we have made larger scale props, faux food, puppetry and mask making. What I enjoy the most is larger scale props in addition to exploring different paint effects, such as the rusty metal on the cannons I made for our pirate themed escape room project.
I feel that there is a lot more trial and error and experimenting with materials in props than anything else and I always really enjoy learning an entirely new technique, and learning how to adapt that technique across different briefs and projects.
A lot of my understanding of prop making comes to learning a range of methods and materials and adapting them and experimenting with them to create different effects to fit the outcome your looking for.
