Jemma Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm looking (preferably to borrow) a tin bath tub like the one shown here: I've not ever seen one shaped like this, so if you know of a specific name for it, please let me know! Also, as I'm doing a show set in an artist's studio (in late 19th century), Iif anyone has any artistic clutter (paints / brushes / jars / paraffin pots etc etc.) they wish to get rid of, all offers gratefully received! (I'm based in London). Many thanks, Jemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You could try getting hold of a circular fishpond and cut the bottom off with a jigsaw. It wouldn't hold water, but I guess that shouldn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 For a frying pan that size I'd look in my local Asian interest shoping street (Green street E6/7/13 ) For Artistic props I'd look in Wyvern Bindery on Clerkenwell Road. Recently my local Lidl ( E6 ) had prestretched artists canvasses on frames for silly cheap for "Craft" however with Lidl the specials may not be in all stores or be there when you look again. A concurrent post has been automatically merged from this point on. Added: NOTHING actually sounds like a tin bath that isn't a tin bath. There are some soft (vinyl??) buckets in Asda and several builders' merchants. From the largest size the bottom 4" would be a bit small but a likely shape, and likely useable. Also that black thing that builders are supposed to use when mixing cement in the street. 3ft DIA and 6in high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemma Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Thanks chaps, but we're in a studio theatre, so need the real deal. Was hoping someone might have one kicking about. The search continues. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Dunc Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Galvanised-T...=item2a01e90d94 does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul28 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The one in ebay doesn't look alike with the picture provided by the thread starter. Any luck with this one? Have you tried checking other theaters? They might have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemma Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Sadly ended up with another kind of bath (luckily Degas painted a couple of types!) bought from Kempton Market. Found one similar to original to hire from Stockyard, but for 1/3 of my budget and got quotes to have one made for similar price. Ah, the joys of studio theatre! Thanks to everyone who offered ideas, Jemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
