Discussion with Debs

I rang Debs this morning who will be helping with Set painting on the 5/6th of December. I am so excited to have a professional painter to come and work on the pros and realise my design, especially after seeing her work on the previous show. Today we spoke so I can get the gist of paints/materials I will need to buy for monday. The list is as follows, (I have marked on where to get them from):

• Flints Black Theatre Paint - Left over In Extremis
• Emulsion matt glaze - Left Over In Extremis
• Other emulsions for set - Paint collection in studio Theatre/ B and Q match pots
• Muslin for water texture - Haberdashery
• Polyblock - Sheffield Insulations
• Bread knives - Kitchen
• Polythene - Wilkinsons
• White spirit - The Range
• Brushes available - Studio Theatre/ Own
• Idendum - In Extremis

Reflection: This chat was really helpful and she also suggested getting started on the polyblock texture before her arrival so I will arrange for a few people to come down to the set build on Sunday and get started whilst we build as she said it can take time. Luckily as many of these items were ordered for the previous show there is quite a lot remaining that we can use saving cost and time sourcing paints etc. Debs also said she will bring some of her own equipment and rosco paints if they are of use.
