Giant gloss black stallion horse, and giant orange egg, created as theatre stage props for the Garsington Opera's performance of Handel's Amadigi, from the 19th June to 24th July 2021.
Carved from polystyrene / styrofoam, and finished in glass fibre, these props had a high end finish, and a larger than life feel for this production.

That horse is stunning!
The horse is so majestic and the egg 🥚 just as unique and perfect
so unique like a collection agency for maring hunt library mail. note the comment. and the mail. and the amount and all aspects of the mailer
George Stubbs Anatomy of the Horse! What a useful book.
The simple but elegance of the horse and the egg….I can’t imagine the feeling one would get while working on such a project. It’s large scale would be daunting, yet so satisfying when the final coats of paint are applied.
Never apologize for the rambling of the voiceover narration. You do such a fine job of explaining the process, and keep the puns down to a minimum.(actually I quite enjoy the puns!)
I always enjoy seeing all your projects. I have recently worked with foam using a small hot wire, and it has changed my creativity! This is due to watching your channel and seeing what can be done in foam! Thanks so much for sharing!
😊 wow
You guys did really good getting musculature reference pics! I've seen soooo many artists foul up their product because they didn't understand the underlying skeletal and muscular structure of their subject! Jelly legs, floating eyes, shrimpy legs and pin heads are some of the most bothersome things I've seen, but even weird muscle tone can irritate a person. I'm always yelling at the TV when they animate a bird flying backwards. The motion should be similar to swimming, and for some reason, people keep animating what birds do to slow down as they land, like that'll make the bird go faster in normal flight!
Very nice pieces. You guys do excellent work! Very professional.
Stunning. Absolutely beautiful. Makes me itch a bit to get back to my studio.
yes sean the best narrator in the world 😩

"Amadigi" is a magical opera, and this performance is likely rife with the surreal; and themed in black and orange, is my understanding. You all do terrific work. Thanks for all the fun and informative vids. Cheers, Jim from Seattle
Thanks Jim!

Magnifcate! Wish i had one just as Beautiful!💕💯🐎
Hey Debi, we actually have it back from the people that we made it for... it's very much for sale 😉
That horse is not a prop, it’s art.
I agree 100% with you. I would love have one like this but unfortunalely i've no space ( and money 😁) for a piece like this
Thank you very much Rachel 😘 appreciate it, ladies
Why should a prop not be art? Being a Prop is just an objects job description.
Maybe for a roadside fair ride.
@@StefanSte I think the meaning is that the prop is so well done that it could stand alone in an art exhibit with no other purpose and still have plenty of artistic value.
A prop is an extension of a piece of art, but most props lose their meaning and much of their artistic value when viewed on their own and without movement. I mean, no one looks twice at a believable reproduction of an old tube TV set or appreciates the time it takes to make fake fruit look like the real thing. And yet, as set dressing, it now has meaning and gives the characters something to interact with or at least adds to the realism that this really is someone's lived-in home.
I personally like the rhino with folded skin the looks like armor. Still a cool piece!😎
WOW!!!! très beau travail...
I bet you guys have lots of fun at work.
this is amazing I hope you get paid well for all this work
The egg looks cool, but I love the horse! 🐴
It would be nice to see a video showing what all your outstanding artist/workers have been doing during the pandemic when there was so little work at the studio.
We made a video a couple of months ago, showing Sean's wand making project during lockdown. The rest of the video would comprise mostly of Tesco delivery driving, gaming, and generally staying at home 😂
amazing team, this is what I shall call it the dream team, congratulations for the good work and keep it up forever and always
Thank yoooooouuuu

Bonsoir! Magnifique 🙏 quel matière avez vous utilisé pour sculpter ce cheval ? D avance merci pour la réponse ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼
Muito bonito 👍
I come from Indonesia, and I also like fine arts, especially Styrofoam carving, I would be very happy if I could join your team, and participate in every sculpture made from Styrofoam
Очень круто!
14:26 The division bell.
A triumphant return for the Sticky Back Foil!
Oh it'll always be back ;)
My husband worked on building the opera stage
Fantástico
Did you guys apply several layers of a concrete render or was it a car body filler and gel coat on the horse to get rid of the fiber texture. It turned out amazing! Glad you guys are getting some work.
Resins / gel coats and car body fillers. Concrete would have been a nightmare to sound down, and certainly not to the finish we wanted! Thank yooouuu
13:40 Dude... whatahell ! :D LMAO

Video summary [00:00:00][^1^][1] - [00:20:02][^2^][2]:
This video shows how Sculpture Studios created a giant egg and a black horse for the opera Amadigi by Handel. It covers the steps of carving, molding, fiberglassing, sanding, priming, and painting the sculptures. It also features the client's feedback and the final installation at the Garsington Opera venue.
**Highlights**:
+ [00:00:39][^3^][3] **The brief and the references**
* A balance between realism and simplicity
* A six-foot tall orange egg and a seven-and-a-half foot tall black stallion
* Various references provided by the client and found online
+ [00:02:31][^4^][4] **The carving process**
* Polystyrene blocks cut with hot wire and nail brushes
* Detailed anatomy and musculature of the horse
* Geometric shape and smooth surface of the egg
+ [00:06:12][^5^][5] **The fiberglassing process**
* Protective barrier of tin foil over the polystyrene
* Sturdy build-up of glass fiber and resin
* Trap door section for joining the two halves of the egg
+ [00:09:48][^6^][6] **The client's visit and approval**
* Robin Morgan from the art department checks the horse carving
* Changes can still be made before the glass fiber stage
* The egg finish is still up for discussion
+ [00:11:53][^7^][7] **The sanding and priming process**
* Laborious task of sanding, cleaning, and repeating
* Car body worthy surface for the high gloss finish
* 2k car body primers for the egg and the horse
+ [00:15:06][^8^][8] **The painting and polishing process**
* Gloss black finish for the horse
* Three different finishes for the egg before the final one
* Buffing up the surface with a high gloss polish
+ [00:17:40][^9^][9] **The final approval and transport**
* Robin Morgan visits again and signs off the work
* Pallet trucks for maneuvering the sculptures
* Transport to the Wormsley Estate in Buckinghamshire
Mantap kuda ya...kami dri indonesia
dat paard wou ik wel heel graag bij mij ij de tuin😀👍
Are you all, (especially Aden) blase as to what becomes of your spectacular creations after their use by date? I hope these props get re-used or passed on to another needy production/event etc. I've had work 'junked' and it smarts, I can tell you. And you seem to get a double whammy what with all the creativity AND THEN all the graft to finish the projects. (multiple resprays of the egg, on the whim of the client?, I ask you!)
What is the alternative to insulating paper or are there specific ratios for hardeners and cobalt so as not to corrode the foam body?
Great 👍work, gang! I thought for sure your sister was going to be lowered into the egg ! 🥚 She seems to get all the
"inside jobs" !
Muito lindo

Hey Aden! Beautiful work, how much does the horse weight?
Hey Dynamo, probably between 75 to 100kgs
