PROP MAKING

GIANT DUCK

Below is a gallery of images outlining the process of making the giant fluffy duck prop for 'Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown' by David Yazbek, directed by Eva Sampson and designed by Yijing Chen. This prop was made by me and Amelia O'Toole.

LARGE ARCHWAY

The aim of this project was to work as a team to make a large scale prop replicating the archway of the Old Library in Cardiff City Centre. I was allocated the top central decorative carve and worked with polystyrene, scrim and crown emulsion paints. My team for the top piece included Amy Marsden, Theo Wyatt, Lily Gardner, Kalyssa Speth and Ruby Aston.

I designed this bull mask for 'Image of an Unknown Young Woman' directed by Selma Dimitrijevic along with two other masks, a boar and a wolf which were made by costume assistants Robin O'Connor Lowe and Rosie Underwood.

BUTCHERS MEAT PROPS

These meat props were carved from recycled polystyrene and rendered in emulsion paint and wrapped in cling film. I designed and made these props for 2025 production of 'Woyzeck' at Theatre 'Hadi Shehu' in Gjakova, Kosovo.

SEAGULL PROP AND PUPPET

Seagulls designed and made for the 'Hot House' tent run by The Pickwell Foundation at Greenbelt Festival. The guiding theme for our decoration of this venue was welcome and 'safe harbour', which are central to Pickwell's amazing work with refugees.
