JOHN JAMES: PROP MAKING, SET PAINTING
​
Hi and welcome to my website. I've trained as a theater technician but my real passion is props and scenic art. I am currently studying a BA in Prop Making at South Wales University. I have been doing arty things since childhood, but recently decided to make it my career. I have also worked as a paint sprayer and stage crew. Here are a few pictures of my student portfolio.
