Prop Making
I have been making props for myself and others for over thirty years, past clients include Rik Mayle, Lindsey Kemp, Shepperton studios the list is endless.
I started making props with Puppets, Punch and Judy then of course the booths. I made sets of Puppets for Harrods, Heals, and Jenners, Tiger Tiger, in the kings road, and the Walrus and the Carpenter in Glasgow.
As I became more interested in clowning I stared making clown cars, I have made five in all, Wire walking was my next challenge and I make freestanding wire rigs and more recently Slack wire rigs. These usually come through commissions. I would be interested in making anything in wood metal fibreglass, plastic cloth in fact anything as I like a challenge below are a few pics of recent commissions. My son Charlie also follows in the family tradition and will work in all materials.
