Haunted Hands-On: Learn Prop Making This Halloween

Details

Get hands-on with prop making and scenic art in this immersive two-day workshop at Northern Stage’s Fisher Street Workshop – the professional production space of one of the UK’s leading theatres.

Guided by experienced facilitators, you’ll design, build, and finish your own realistic gravestone prop using industry-standard products and professional scenic techniques. Across two days you’ll learn how to:

• Construct and shape a sturdy prop form
• Add authentic textures and carved details

No prior experience is required — just enthusiasm and a willingness to get messy.
