About
FTV The founder of Film and TV Sculptors – Gideon Lee Howarth (Gids) has over 20 years of experience as a freelance sculptor and bespoke carpenter with an insight and aptitude to his chosen industry which has given him an “Old Head on Young Shoulders”. Our studio workshop is set in quiet and rural surroundings just inside the M25 at junction 22, with close links to the M1, A1 and Thameslink railway. The facility is approximately 2000sq feet with a floor to ceiling height of 15 feet (5metres). We also have access to larger facilities within a close proximity of our address should a project require it. Having worked at numerous film, commercial and television studios in the UK and around the world, some less glamorous than others, we have developed a versatile and professional attitude to working in all manner of locations and terrains. FTV is a family run business with a reputation for quality and fine finishing in modelling, carving and casting in all materials. Built on solid foundations and with many years of experience behind them, FTV continues to grow and adapt to modern concepts and constraints of design, pioneering new techniques in poly sculpting, sculptural construction, model and prop fabrication for use across a multitude of industries. The majority of our work uses polystyrene to create sculpts, props, architectural and functional pieces, however we also use other materials including clay, plaster, urethane, fibreglass, acrylic, resins, fillers, wood, stone and semi precious materials. Having worked closely with various designers, production managers and event co-ordinators, FTV prides itself on providing excellent client liaison and will guide your project from design to completion. Our creative expertise in material uses, technical skills and quality craftsmanship right through to transportation and installation will ensure we always provide a practical and successful outcome. Carved in stone or more realistically polystyrene, we endeavour to maintain the highest standards of expertise and professionalism. ANY TIME, ANY SIZE, ANYWHERE!
