Puppet Making

Come and join us for an exciting opportunity to bring a puppet to life with guidance from a local puppet maker at The Puppet Workshop. We will start with a basic puppet and infuse it with character design, allowing you to create your unique puppet while acquiring the skills needed to master puppetry.

Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this workshop promises to be a delightful and enriching experience. You'll learn about the art of storytelling through puppets, explore various materials, and understand the mechanics behind puppet movement. Our expert puppet maker will share tips and tricks, ensuring you leave with not only a tangible creation but also the confidence to perform. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow puppet enthusiasts, share ideas, and be inspired by the creativity around you. So, bring your imagination and enthusiasm, and let's create some magic together at The Puppet Workshop!
