When a production or an exhibition needs one particular thing made - a sculptural object, a hero prop, a piece of precision joinery - our scenic art and fabrication teams make it. Timber, steel, polystyrene carving, CNC routing and scenic finish, from a one-off prop for the stage to interpretive sculpture for a gallery. Made in-house in Preston.
CNC routing gives us precise, repeatable cutting and patterning; our fabricators and scenic artists take it from there - polystyrene carving, metalwork, carpentry and finish.
It is the same skill set behind our gallery sculpture and our stage scenery, pointed at whatever single piece you need made.

We turn a concept or a drawing into a pattern that can be cut and built accurately.
CNC routing for precision and repeatability, then fabrication in timber, steel and composite.
Polystyrene carving, sculpture and metalwork for the pieces that have to be shaped by hand.
Paint, texture and surface from our scenic art team, so the piece reads right under lights or in the case.

Yes. We use CNC routing for precise, repeatable cutting and patterning in timber and composite, which feeds straight into our fabrication and scenic work.
Yes. Polystyrene carving, sculpture, metalwork and carpentry are all part of the skill set, finished by our scenic art team.
Both. We make props and sculptural pieces for theatre productions, and interpretive sculpture and objects for museums and galleries.
Yes. The workshop is open and the team is at the bench. Show Works is now part of Theatre Safe Australia, with the national resources of TSA behind the work.
One prop, one sculpture, one precise piece - tell us what it is and we will draw it, cut it and finish it.
