Puppet Manipulation Workshops
Take the form of teaching the participants basic puppetry skills in eye line and lip sync exercises using our custom made workshop puppets. Full bodied, articulated puppets are also provided for movement and choreography, the “Bunraku’ method of puppet manipulation is taught with this type of workshop puppet and is particularly beneficial to people who want a more comprehensive understanding of movement and manipulation. Teamwork is an essential tool to all of our workshops!
Puppet Making Workshops
As highly skilled and expert puppet makers we teach different methods of puppet making from latex, foam, even newspaper! Workshops can be short day courses in basic puppet making or as long as one week with our more intensive training, creating a latex puppet; this involves sculpting a head in clay, taking a two-part mould in plaster and finally a latex copy from the mould. Our workshops can cater for people of all ages and abilities, and have been successful in primary schools and educational institutions in the UK and across Europe. Private tuition can be organised, with the Company offering one on one tuition on a whole range of styles and products in our workshop in Bristol.
