Our industry-led course will give you all the skills you need to create stage sets, backdrops and props for public performances and work on major television and film projects. <br/><br/>Guided by a team of staff who are experienced professionals, you’ll learn all the main workshop practices of the stage and screen industries. <br/><br/>These practices include fundamental painting and texturing techniques, prop making, metalwork and how to use tools and other relevant equipment – such as core computer skill training (specialising in fusion360 and Auto Cad), which will allow you to operate laser cutters, 3D printers and computer numerical control (CNC) equipment. <br/><br/>You’ll then put your newfound knowledge into practice, where you’ll have several work placements – both in College productions and with our industry partners, who create sets and props for some of the country’s biggest productions. <br/><br/>The only course of its kind outside London, it provides a welcoming, safe environment where you can experiment and really push your creative boundaries.
