About this event

Design, carve, and assemble your own wooden puppet in this creative 3-day workshop

Starting with an introduction to puppetry and an exploration of puppet design principles, you’ll learn techniques to craft a puppet, alongside safe techniques for handling of tools.

Using laminated plywood blanks and a variety of tools in our fantastic wood workshop on our Falmouth campus, and working in a small group under close supervision, you will learn to work with wood to create a figure, rough out its shape, and then add design and detail.

We’ll then move on to creating movement, using wooden and/or leather hinges. Finally, you will finish your unique wooden puppet with gesso and paint layering techniques. You’ll take your completed puppet away with you at the end of the course.

Suitable for all creative people 18+ with no prior experience required!
Costs: £395 per person including all materials and tea/coffee
