Pickled Image offer comprehensive workshops in puppetry skills and character development to theatres, schools and venues. The company have extensive experience in delivering workshops to people of all ages and abilities, the workshops concentrate on puppet manipulation skills, hand to eye co-ordination and improvisation exercises with puppets.

In the autumn term of 2003, Pickled Image worked with over 120 children from Years 5 and 6 with two local Primary Schools in Bristol. The project began with the broad aims of raising speaking, listening and writing standards and set about to explore the scope of developing English through puppetry and theatre skills.

The aims and objectives of the workshops are to raise self-esteem and develop confidence amongst young people and to encourage team work using puppets as a means of expression.

Pickled Image's workshops can be tailor made to suit all educational requirements for any age of student.

The company also work with computer animators at Bournemouth University; the sessions are designed to help animators look at movement and performance in real time. The workshops teach eye line and lip sync techniques, which can be filmed and used as a learning tool for the animator’s work. Puppet workshops are also taught at Birmingham school of Art for their BA (hons) theatre design students and are available for bookings in other art colleges and institutions.
