Make a three person puppet and bring it to life in 2 days!

Do you want to make a puppet but you don't know where to start? This is the workshop for you. In this workshop you will design and make a simple 3 person operated puppet using materials such as cardboard, paper, tape, lolly pop sticks and hessian sack. You will learn to make joints that don't go back on themselves, sculpt a characterful head, learn a quick and easy way to make hands and feet, and put it all together. On the final day you have the chance to bring it to life with other participants to see how it works and think about fixes you want to make.  We show you how to get started, and the rest is up to you!

You will learn to:

• Design a puppet for operating by three puppeteers
• Make simple joints that move in a realistic way
• Create a head full of character from newspaper/ cardboard and tape
• Play with costume and hair to give the puppet character
• Learn some basics to bring your puppets to life
