Making Stage Props: A Practical Guide

Good value

My Daughter-in-Law found the book very helpful and interesting, due to her voluntary work in theatre at college.

This book is excellent for any Model Maker/student needing help with prop making, the guide not only has tips, but is written by somebody,(Andy Wilson)who has worked in the industry and knows it really well. Deffinately reccomend!

I needed to make some props and this excellent and informative book showed me how to make them. A valuable bit of kit for anyone connected with stage or film

This book was very advanced and not at all what I was expecting. Hence the fact that I returned it.

I brought this book to help me understand more techniques and methods to do with theatre prop making while studying a course on the subject. I am glad to say it is now a fantastic reference guild to me. The book itself is meant to show a wide varity of materials, ideas on their use and useful tips and methods (which prevents you making those 'text book errors'). The book does this in a very effective way and it really does gives you a very in-depth knowledge and a good over all understanding.The only thing I would say is that the book isn't really meant to be a Beginner's step by step guild on prop making, althought it does contain processes and methods which is useful when starting to use new materials. However, if you are someone that wishes to expand their knowledge and skill range this is a good start!
