Carvalho Studio


21/3/12

Today I worked at Carvalho Studio. Based in Hoxton in East London, Carvaldo Studio is a small studio dedicated to bringing the best sets and ideas for theatre into life through precise and beautiful scale models.



The workspace
Luis Carvallho invited me to visit the studio for a day to see the work  that goes into set model making. We spent time going over the process of the making, and chatted away about our own backgrounds in theatre and design. Currently, Luis working on developing a model box for a production of Eugene Onegine taking place in Canada later this year.




Luis' model thus far for Eugene Onegine
I was able to help Luis along with some of the work; I was asked to complete a digital scale version of some rolling flats that will have tree silhouettes spread across them. The design was made from a photograph of a wood. Once the design is fully finished, it will be sent to be laser-cut for the best precision in the model. It roughly measured  34 x 77 cm

It was a pleasure to work at Carvalho Studio for a day, and will hopefully work there again in the near future.
