CLAIRE PETRIE
Painter and Maker
Making
I began my work in theatre as a propmaker with little experience from my degree in Fine Art but quickly learnt how broad the range of method and techniques can be. Prop making has taken me through theatre, opera, film, retail and events for various different companies and projects around London. I have enjoyed using sewing, moulding and casting, engraving, carving, poly carving and hot wiring, modelling, mask-making and puppetry over the years, for all the different projects I have been lucky enough to work on.
