About Me

Having graduated with a first in Drama and Theatre Arts from Goldsmiths UoL, I fell into prop making by accident but instantly found a kinship with the hands-on creativity this career has so given me.

I currently work as a freelance prop maker based in South-West London with 4+ years experience creating props for a multitude of West End shows (Grease, Hercules, The Devil Wears Prada) and touring productions (English Touring Opera’s Pagliacci, Jesus Christ Superstar, Rocky Horror Picture Show). I have also gained many on-site credits both as a prop maker and a scenic artist (see the home page for a full list). I am able to refurbish furniture, paint, re-upholster, and work with a multitude of mediums to achieve the designer's goals. I currently am learning how to weld metal in my spare time.

My artistic tendencies don't end when I clock out of my job! I enjoy creating digital art, cosplay, and spoken word so you'll rarely find me without some form of art medium in my hands. I also like to keep busy by going for walks to explore areas of London I've never seen before and frequent the gym to help clear my head.

If you would like help making props, interested in something I've made, or just have a question - then email me at florence.minchella@outlook.com!
