Props Masters
Expert props masters sourcing from Dublin's prop houses and Ireland's antique dealers for your Irish production.
A props master sources, creates, and manages all hand-held objects and set properties used during a production. In Ireland, this role draws on a rich cultural heritage spanning Celtic, medieval, and Georgian periods, with access to traditional crafts and a thriving contemporary production scene centred in Dublin. Props masters work from the script breakdown to identify every required prop, then acquire or fabricate each item while tracking continuity across scenes.
We connect you with Irish props masters who have deep relationships with prop houses in Dublin, antique dealers across the country, and specialist craftspeople in Cork, Galway, and the west of Ireland. Our network includes professionals experienced with period Celtic and medieval productions, contemporary Irish dramas, and the major international productions attracted by Screen Ireland funding and Ireland's Section 481 tax credit.
