Heston's Big Egg: Channel 4 project

 I was asked by a freelance prop maker based in Maidenhead to be an assistant on the making of huge egg in an egg cup for Heston Blumenthal's new show 'Heston's Fantastical foods' on channel 4.

Channel 4 was filming a 'Making of' section of the show and decided to film the making of the egg.

Set Model Box: God of Carnage


This project explores the art of theatre design, but mainly the processes behind designing a set for theatre. This project challenges my skills as a designer, organiser, researcher and maker.  The aim of this project is to produce a 1:25 scale model box with a Scenographic model of my final set design for my given play. I will be designing a set for the play‘God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza’.



My main influence with my design of the set was one character; Veronica. The play's setting is the portent of Veronica and Michael Reille. I knew that Veronicas taste would be the main influence on the look of the room but there would also be some small aspect that belong to Michael. Veronica main interests are art and travel and in the okay she explains she wiring a book on the conflict in Darfur. I took in spat ion  from this small detail and decided to go with a mainly african theme. This shows in the colour of the walls and the wall hangings. Michael influence is the bespoke made book and vinyl cases. Michael's invest is D.I.Y so it made to sense that he would make something for his own home.
