Puppetry Workshop
Two-Day Puppetry Workshop
Build Your Own Expressive Hand Puppet In this hands-on, two-day puppetry workshop,
Participants will design and build a fully functional hand puppet like the one shown, full of personality, movement, and charm. Over the course of two sessions, we will explore the basics of puppet construction while encouraging creativity and individual expression.
Participants will learn how to build a soft puppet head, attach facial features, work with fleece and faux fur, and assemble arms and body structure. We will also cover simple performance tips so the puppet feels alive once it is finished.
No prior sewing or puppetry experience is required. This workshop is beginner-friendly and engaging for both youth and adults.
All materials are included, and each participant will take their completed puppet home at the end of the workshop.
