About this Event


Join for one of two sessions in the afternoon on Wednesday October 29th to take home your very own handmade marionette!

Choose your puppet body from a heap of fabric remnants and pull apart one of our pre-made kits to start making your marionette. My assistant and I will then talk you through the steps and give you tips and tricks for turning a simple scrap of fabric into your very own character.  

This activity should take between 45 and 60 minutes. You can make as many puppets as you like in the session you book or leave after making just 1.
