Workshop

During my time on the FMP module, I managed to get a job in a workshop that specialised in making props and costumes for stages and film sets. This has helped me so much with my work for my FMP because I had learnt how to make many new things.

The first thing they had taught me was how to make mold for resining. It was my first time doing both of these techniques but the outcomes came out better than expected, and I was told that I was already a pro at making things out of resin. I plan to use this new skill towards my final piece too because you can make very lovely things very quickly.

Alongside the resin stuff, I learned how to make many other things along with techniques such as plaster mould, fibreglassing, and carpentry, all at a beginner level.

Here is a few other things I helped make in the workshop.
