Ready for a truly unforgettable creative experience?

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll help build a life-sized elephant with a water-squirting trunk and a magnificent lion with an articulated jaw! Using traditional materials like willow for the structure and muslin for the skin, you'll learn the techniques to bring these incredible creatures to life.
​​
This is more than just a workshop; it's a chance to be part of a spectacular, collaborative
project. Once our puppets are complete, we’ll take them out into the streets to animate
them, creating a truly magical spectacle for the whole community.
