Come and get creative and have a go at making an over sized, embossed, leather effect book, which could be used as a spell book or potions book on stage as a prop! The workshop will be led by Carolyn Hopkins.

Carolyn owns and runs The Truckle Truck, and before selling cheese, she studied theatre design & production and worked backstage with Salisbury Playhouse’s Youth Theatre Group. She started making props for SAC last year, working on Spamalot and this year’s Pantomime, Sleeping Beauty. Carolyn is incredibly creative with her prop making and can quite literally create something out of nothing!
