Hi I’m Jake I am a creative living in Brighton and I work freelance as an Artist and Prop Maker. I studied at Northbrook Metropolitan College where I gained a First Class Degree in Theatre Arts, specialising in Prop making and SFX.
My most notable achievements to date include writing and creating a puppet show called ‘Borrowed Time’ performed at Brighton Fringe 2019. I have worked on community projects for companies such as Fusion Arts which is a charity Arts organisation, I was part of a team designing and making large willow lanterns during Oxford’s annual Christmas light festival. I have worked with Bamboozle Theatre based in Leicester creating puppets and props. Bamboozle Theatre specialises in providing multi sensory experiences for children and young people with moderate to profound learning difficulties. I also run workshops on puppet making in Universities and care homes. Whether it’s devising Theatre shows, making props and puppets, or running creative workshops, I’m always looking for new ways to improve and add to my skillset.
I have previously worked in a variety of other mediums including stop-motion model making. Previous companies I have worked for include Yamination Studios located in Digbeth, West Midlands and FoolHardy Films Studios in Lancing, West Sussex. I have also worked with stained glass and sugar craft creating intricate and detailed works such as ornamental stained glass and cake decorations.
