Set Design/Prop Maker
As a prop maker, you’d be to creating realistic-looking objects for use in theatre, film and elevision. You might make anything from fake jewelry to replica weapons. Skills needed are knowledge and competency of carpentry, sculpting, casting, sewing, painting, welding and computer-aided design. You would work off of rough sketches to detailed designs, carry out historical or cultural research in order to make authentic-looking props (which might mean traveling to other countries), and experiment with different materials and techniques to create realistic effects (other than the typical metal, latex, fiberglass, wood or fabric). Of course this would require you to be able to use various tools other than a pen or pencil, you know the kinds that plug into an electrical socket and make loud noises. You can combine your love of Home Depot and Pearl Art Supplies!
