My prop-making projects 

This was a group project to create a retro TV monitor surround and a webcam hide for a podcast set. I did the creative design for this project and assisted with the build. The design is meant to give the illusion of 70s-80s technology while allowing the podcast to host overseas guests virtually.  

On this group project, I communicated with the client and pitched ideas for RPOMO props for their upcoming 'Dragons of the Brighton Pavilion' exhibition. I did the creative and technical design for the red and orange dragons, as well as all of the patterning for the tails. As a group, we foamcrafted the tails and airbrushed details.

This project was an opportunity to use our favourite skills to create anything of our choosing! Thorn is polysculpted, with a wooden and aluminium armature. The skin is epoxy clay, every scale meticulously sculpted by hand! The wings are Worbla stretched and formed to create a realistic skin look. 

This project's goal was to create an 'accurate' god from any religion as a muppet style puppet! My Anubis puppet has weighted ears for expression, removable accessories and posable arms! The head was sculpted first in wet clay, then I made a pattern of the shape and translated it to Plastizote. 

This project brief required an automata or moving model that portrays a key moment in a piece of pre-1900s world folklore; the wendigo took six weeks, including planning and building. Materials include - milliput, MDF, aluminium wire and static flock. 

Marcus is one of 2 products from an eight week model-making project in which I created tabletop game pieces with a backstory in the Hunger Games universe. The tarantula is primarily made of aluminium wire and milliput. He stands on an MDF base.

This giant garlic measures 500mm by 500mm and is part of my poly carving/theatre prop project. It's made of polystyrene, coated in scrim and flint, then paper mache. This is also my first attempt at airbrushing. 

This project was an introduction to woodwork, one of my first university projects. It required the creation of a realistic, giant bug made entirely of wood, mostly pine and dowel. This project took three weeks. 

This project was a three-month artistic project in which I had free reign. I chose to explore what it would be like if different mushrooms infected mammals in the style of a real-life fungus called Cordyceps. It consists of four main sculptures, many accompanying illustrations, and some mushrooms that I preserved myself to add to the exhibition. The sculptures are aluminium and polymer clay, the illustrations are alcohol ink. See the full collection on Instagram.
