WHO ARE YOU?
Cue Props is a creative interest company set up by its three directors to stop props from the Scottish Entertainment Industry going to landfill or languishing in prop stores. We refurbish, reuse and recycle props to engage the industry in a green cycle. One of the ways we do this is by working with emerging creatives and artists, teaching them how to think and work more sustainably and supporting their transition into the industry by providing access to workspace, promoting their work and organising networking opportunities.
Go to our Initiative page to learn more.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
We are currently based at Unit F20, Flemington House, 110 Flemington Street in Glasgow.

WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU USE?
We upcycle as much as we can and try to use sustainable materials in all our work. We are often surprised by what can be recycled to make our creations, the only limit is your imagination.
Check out our Instagram to see what we've made in the past.
HOW MUCH DO YOUR SERVICES COST?
It depends on the services you require. We hire out a range of props from as little as £3 and run workshops from £10 per class. Repairs and commissions are calculated individually depending on the time and materials required. However, we appreciate that some groups may be working with limited funding and we're always happy to discuss projects and tailor them to your budget.
DO YOU DO CLASSES?
We run a variety of workshops at Cue Props. We can offer introductory prop making classes for those interested in the work we do, refresher courses for industry professionals to hone their skills or learn new ways of working with sustainable materials, and community workshops to provide community workers with ideas to engage with their groups.
Keep an eye on our Courses page and social media for information on upcoming workshops, or contact us to discuss your training needs.
DO YOU HIRE ITEMS AND, IF SO, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
Hiring isn't the main focus of our work but we do have a small selection of items available to hire for productions and events. Hire fees start from as little as £3 and items are available for short or long term hires. If we don't have what you are looking for, we probably know someone else who does, as we work with local hire companies to keep props and set pieces in circulation, so feel free to discuss your prop requirements with us.
DO YOU CLEAR SETS?
We work with production and theatre companies as well as events to clear sets but we are selective in the items we will take. Cue Props wants to avoid waste, so we will only take items which can be reused, recycled or repurposed.
DO YOU ACCEPT DONATIONS?
We welcome donations of any items which can be reused, recycled or repurposed into new props. If you have something you would like to donate, please contact us to discuss.
HOW CAN I BE INVOLVED?
There are lots of ways you can get involved at Cue Props. Follow us on social media to see our work or pop along to one of our networking events to meet us and fellow creatives. You can attend workshops to learn some new skills and swap ideas with others, or you can even apply to work with us on a short term work experience placement.
Contact us if you are interested in being involved in the work we do.
