Props
Hero props & set pieces
Camera-ready hero objects and scenic builds crafted for theatre, TV and film – visually convincing under studio lighting and durable enough for daily performance.
Props • Practical effects • Mechanisms
Bespoke props for stage, TV & film.
Stagecraft Works designs and builds custom props, rigs and practical effects for productions that need things to work reliably in front of an audience or a camera.
Typical projects: hero props, integrated electronics, one-off effects,
touring pieces.
What we do
A small studio focused on one-off pieces and short runs. No catalogue, no mass production – everything is built for a specific job.
Effects
Illusions & mechanisms
Hidden mechanisms, switches and methods for “impossible” moments – with attention to safety, handling and repeatability.
Electronics
Wireless & control systems
Embedded electronics, sensors and wireless triggers integrated cleanly into props, costumes or existing sets.
Where we fit
We usually join once the idea exists but the object doesn’t.
