For many people, even within the theatre industry, prop making is
something of a 'dark art', practised by gifted individuals who
manage to produce intricate works battling against short deadlines.
However, the skills of prop making are relevant to many industries
and contexts, whether for art projects, carnival floats, live
action role-play (LARP), model railways or film and television. The
options and applications are endless, but the traditional skills
remain the same. The Prop Maker's Workshop Manual is a definitive
guide to the materials and practices used within the professional
performing arts industries, covering both traditional techniques
and modern practices. Supported by original hand-drawn
illustrations and over 300 colour photographs, topics covered
include: paper mache and card construction; flexible canes and
withies; timber and steel frameworks; sculpting, moulding and
casting processes; texture and paint techniques; GRP and epoxy
resins; thermoformable plastics, including Plastazote and
Wonderflex and finally, an introduction to life casting.
