Flavia Hollyoak: Professional Profile: Prop Maker & Fabrication Artist
I am a versatile fabrication artist with extensive experience across multiple disciplines critical to professional prop making—including 3D printing, leatherworking, sewing, painting, miniature detailing, and sculpting. My methodical problem-solving approach transforms conceptual designs into tangible, screen-ready props that balance visual impact with practical functionality.

My technical versatility allows me to select the optimal materials and techniques for each project requirement. I excel in translating creative direction into precisely executed physical pieces, adapting quickly to revised specifications while maintaining stringent quality standards throughout the production process.

Demonstrated Expertise: A signature project that showcases my comprehensive prop-making methodology was a custom leather backpack created entirely from raw materials. Beginning with conceptual sketches, I engineered the structural design before selecting specific leather types based on performance requirements—choosing vegetable-tanned leather for high-wear components and chrome-tanned for flexibility where needed. I developed multiple prototypes to test functional elements before final construction, executing all pattern-making, cutting, dyeing, and assembly techniques to achieve structural integrity and screen-ready aesthetic detail.

This project exemplifies the complete prop-making workflow I bring to production environments: thorough research, material knowledge, precision fabrication, adaptability during the development process, and an unwavering commitment to both visual authenticity and functional reliability—ensuring props that perform consistently under production conditions.

My portfolio below demonstrates my ability to deliver production-ready props seamlessly supporting storytelling while meeting the practical demands of film, television, theatre, and themed entertainment environments.
