Emma Hodgson
Model/ Prop Maker
About
Since graduating in Fine Art from Leeds Beckett University in 2015, I have found a pathway into prop making/ model making through working with various theatre companies and continuing to complete a Model Making for Animation course at the NFTS in 2018.
These roots in Fine Art, theatre and Model making have given me a good overall knowledge as a creative maker in various industries including: Theatre, Film & TV, Fashion & Advertising and Art Fabrication. I special in Prop/ Model Making and am looking to expand my skills in Set Dressing in and Art Fabrication.
I work frequently with Large production companies such as Andy Knight, Entertainment One and Anarchy but can also take on smaller jobs if you'd like to Contact me to discuss a project.
