prop makers

Theater object creators

Prop makers are craftspeople who create objects used in theatrical, film, and television productions.

They build, sculpt, paint, and modify items that actors handle or that appear on set—from weapons and furniture to food and magical artifacts.

The work requires diverse skills: woodworking, metalworking, molding, electronics, and often improvisation under tight deadlines.

The prop makers aged the treasure chest to look centuries old.
