During the last six years at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) — Junior Conservatoire of Production programme and Degree course — Kate has showcased excellent communication skills, with a collaborative mindset and high work ethic, as well as a passion for all things scenic!
Kate completed an internship with Richard Nutbournes’ Scenic studio, where she applied her practical skills — scenic and construction.
“Scenic Art is a specialism that encompasses all types of applied arts, including the freedom to use an unlimited range of materials to interpret and bring designers dreams and visions into reality. This ever-changing skill set makes this profession a creative adventurer’s dream.
I love working on large scale projects — like big cloths or big set pieces — this allows the most freedom and expression when it comes to applying paints and textures, I also find a great sense of satisfaction & accomplishment when completed as they are so much more visually dynamic and impressive.”
