Puppet Making and Community Art Workshops

LEARN TO CREATE!

We offer workshops in making paper mache masks & puppets! Workshops can be for children of all ages, adults, or whole communities. They can be hosted in schools and monasteries.

The making can be done simply in a few hours, or more intricately over the course of a week. Materials for the base layer of a puppet or mask might range from crushed newspaper and masking tape to clay and hay tied onto a wooden armature. All materials are readily available, cheap, or even free. Workshops usually end in performance. Rehearsals can last 5 minutes for simple shows or a week or more for complex projects. Workshop participants can join a shows that already exist or create their own stories from their own impulses.
