I thought it might be worth a line or two about the Scenic Painters Directory which is on the Scenic Painters website. This is a list of scenics working across the UK. It's free to use and is a great way of finding a lot of scenic painters in one place, a resource for production managers and scenery builders. It's easy to email or ring a painter directly from the list, and you can check out their work as there are links to painters websites. This version of the directory was launched a week ago and already 40 painters have signed up. Hopefully it will continue to grow. Here's the link http://www.scenicpainters.com/search.html Hope you find it useful. By the way, if you want to find a painter for a specific job you an also advertise that position on the Jobs page of the same site. Again, free to use.
