The Mirror at Life

In June 2023 when I started a temporary contract at the Life Science Centre for the summer, I was tasked with making a frame for a window in the space to make it look like an old ornate mirror. There was much card used, even more glue from the hot glue gun and lots of shaping of the card to create the frame. Despite the activity finishing in September, the frame has stayed up and being dressed for halloween and had a giant dragon installed in it.

The Christmas Experience

In the run up to Christmas I was tasked with making the Santa Experience at the Life Science Centre a little bit more authentic and less IKEA. I used the laser cutter to create interesting shapes out of cardboard to shape into frames, made a working Grandfather clock, a naughty and nice book, and a loverly fireplace from ye olden days. I also made some of the props that were used in the show into something a bit more authentic, a chimney to shoot smoke out of and jazz up Henry the hoover.
