Registration now closed
Puppetmongers Ann and David started their puppetry journey when they were kids, with marionettes from the Pelham Puppet Company; and in their teens they started devising and making their own marionettes. As Puppetmongers Theatre, they now seldom work with string Puppets, but have retained and honed their interest in this classic form.
In this two-day session, Puppetmongers will guide each participant through the building, costuming, stringing and animation of their own marionette. These puppets will have simple block heads, wooden bodies, leather joints, and “airplane controllers”. This workshop’s goal is to teach the essentials of marionette making, for you to elaborate later.
What to bring: Comfort with using hand and power tools and sewing.
