Stage Designs
Barry Stephenson
Barry Stephenson has been working in stage design and construction for 11 years. Before this, he gained his artistic prowess from working as a designer, production artist, and illustrator for over 30 years for studios like Disney, Warner Bros, and Nickelodeon.
Most pieces in his designs are made with XPS insulation foam because it’s easy to work with, lightweight, and cost effective. “I was tasked with coming up with various themes ranging from a space “Force” theme to a Vegas “high Roller” theme and Hot Wire Foam Factory tools have always played a key role in all of them! It’s definitely been a “learn as you go” thing, but I loved every minute!”
Great American Dream Machine
“I Love your site and products! Your Hot Wire tools and Industrial Hot Knifes have been invaluable to help me bring my stage designs to life! The tools I’ve used in every build are the Industrial Hot Knife, 4-Inch Hot Knife, Sculpting Tool, and Engraver. The 4-Inch Knife and Engraver I use quite a bit to help with creating faux surface textures.”
Driven
“I actually get approached after events all the time and asked about the sets. They’re always shocked to find out it’s just foam board and paint!”
