“As a freelance special effects and prop maker I have over 16 years experience working on projects for the film, television and theatre industries.  I have worked on productions for Glyndebourne, and at The Royal Opera House as an assistant armourer. I have also worked for Neil Corbould - Special Effects at Pinewood Studios. I have a very broad skill base, ranging from large scale work such as metalwork, set building, rocket building, mould making, painting, spraying, fibre-glass fabrication and welding - through to small scale work such as silver soldering and jewellery making, as well as upholstering and sewing. I have experience in teaching students at Secondary, F.E. and H.E level, I am comfortable in working with large groups of students and with teams of volunteers, temps and freelancers through project co ordination. I am a hard working professional. I enjoy problem solving and challenges. Perhaps most importantly I can work under pressure whilst still maintaining a sense of humour!” Clare Grotefeld
