My name is Aoife and I am a prop and model maker from Dublin. My love for art began at a very young age and I was always encouraged by my family. As a child/teenager I attended many art classes and workshops and was always drawing in my spare time. When I was a child my dad showed me the 'behind the scenes' of some of my favourite films. The fascination of how things were made and done started my ongoing dream to work on films and shows. I studied Art, Design and Three Dimensional Studies in Ballyfermot College of Further Education before attending IADT. With sculpting and making being my stronger point, this year, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do a miniature model. I wanted to learn new skills, work on finer details and brush up my skills in AutoCAD for laser cutting.
