USING SUGAR GLASS

We chose to use sugar glass as our main prop because we needed a weapon for our main female character: cressida to throw over the male character: Mikes head. We felt it was the best prop to use instead of a fake knife or bat because it was the most realistic and we planned to have a drinks cabinet next to where the fight would take place so it made more sense then her carrying another weapon.
Although we knew sugar glass would be the most effective thing to use it had its complications. First of all we went to talk to Loz the head of costume and props at Hurtwood House school and she showed us the catalogue to give us some choices of what type of sugar glass to use weather it is a vase, bottle etc. Because of the drinks cabinet idea we chose a smirnoff bottle, she then gave us the companies name and number. The company we rang was Flints, I spoke to Talia and she told me that there were risks of ordering and delivering sugar glass as there was a possibility it could break. We took the risk and ordered 3 which came to 60 pounds all together. We split it between each member in the group so it was 20 pounds each. Above is an email confirming the order confirmation and delivery.
