Puppet Making

Puppets, an all-time favourite, come in all shapes and sizes; what type of puppet would you like to create? This workshop will show you how to make a variety of imaginative and expressive puppets from different types of paper, card and recycled materials or how to make and operate a simple rod puppet or a marionette character with a ball for its head, flowing fabric and a simple string mechanism. This workshop will culminate with a puppet show for friends and family.
