🎠PUPPET MAKING & PUPPETRY WORKSHOP with 'Josh Macrow'
Saturday & Sunday | 25th and 26th April 2026
đź“Ť Underdog Crew Studios
We reccommend for the full experience of puppet making, puppetry and filming, participants attend both days. Choose to attend one or both day workshops. Select when ordering tickets.
Legendary British puppet maker and puppeteer Josh Macrow is coming to Underdog Crew Studios for an exciting, hands-on weekend of puppet making and puppetry.
Josh’s work spans some of the UK’s most loved and iconic productions, including CBeebies’ Dodge’s Puppet School, AVALON’s Spitting Image, The Furchester Hotel Live, and Tom Fletcher’s There’s a Monster in Your Show — and now he’s sharing his skills with the next generation of creators.
Over two creativity-packed days, participants will:
- Design and build their own performance-ready puppet
- Learn core puppetry skills including movement, character, and performance
- Gain confidence through playful, practical storytelling
And for those who want to take things one step further…
Participants will have the opportunity to perform a puppet (or two!) on set for Underdog Crew’s gloriously bonkers “Woody’s World” puppet TV show pilot 🎬🧸
