about Pigsticks Props
Jen Kilgour is a Glasgow-based artist and maker, specialising in prop making for film, tv, theatre and the visual arts since 2019. Having taken the long way round to get to where she currently is, she started out making weird drawings and funny little creatures. That got her into art school to do a degree in stop motion animation where she made more weird drawings and funny little creatures. From there she wandered around a bit aimlessly for the next 20 years, trying to work out where she wanted to go, until finally, she found a way to make weird drawings and funny little creatures but this time get recompensed for it.
Since delving into the world of prop making, under the guise of Pigsticks Props, she has worked on set and on location as well as solo in her own little workshop in Glasgow making things out of foam, rubbers, plastics and cardboard. Making fake things look real and painstakingly adding details to things that will later be smashed to smithereens.
She has made props for film productions such as, Batgirl, Falling Into Place, The Outrun and Out of Darkness and TV shows including The Buccaneers, The Rig and Murder is Easy, Lockerbie: The Search for Truth and Half Man. Theatre shows include Nevada Ballet Theatre’s Peter Pan and set building for Glasgow’s famous Play, Pie & a Pint series of quick turnaround theatre shows at Oran Mor.
Her practice includes, but not limited to, mould-making and casting, model making, sculpting, poly carving and carpentry but will have a go at just about anything else. Prop making is as diverse as it is fascinating. Never the same project twice and never failing to inspire curiosity and wonder.

Images of un-broadcast work are always in the pipeline and see productions, projects & education for full list of projects I have completed.
