WINGED CREATURES: 6 DAY PUPPET MAKING WORKSHOP

SOLD OUT! Full workshop dates/times: Sunday 10th - Friday 15th July 2022, 10am-5pm daily. This is a 6-day Puppet Making Workshop for adults. From dragons to bumble bees, exotic birds to flying dinosaurs, or a being from your wildest imaginations, join this masterclass to design and make your own winged creature puppet, with flapping wings and a moving head. On this course you will learn to translate your 2D drawings into 3D, to carve styrofoam, model fine features, and shape in plastazote. You will also be able to make a simple flying mechanism for your puppet. By the end of the course you should have a finished puppet to take away. Puppets made during this masterclass will be smaller than the golden bird example above, but the same materials and techniques will be used. Judith Hope is a London based puppet maker who creatures puppets for theatre, commercials and festivals, some of which can be seen performing at the festival (The Keeper’s Nests).
