Barrango

Last week I got to go on a field trip with my Materials & Props class to a company called Barrango. They manufacture all sorts of props, decorations, carousel horses, Christmas decorations, Christmas trees, and many more things. Seeing their warehouse was very interesting because they have such a variety of products. Its a family owned business and everything is made by hand. The sketches are done, then the molding artists make the molds and then the painters paint. Its really much more complicated than that but they do everything by hand which is amazing. I was taking pictures from my phone as we were walking so they are not the best but here are the snapshots I took:
















One of the coolest parts about the tour was the very beginning. It was before we entered the warehouse where all the props are. We were in a small room with the bookshelf you see below...but instead of a normal bookshelf it was a secret door! And that how we entered into the warehouse. So Awesome!!
