Puppet Making Workshops

Kids and adults can get creative designing their own puppet characters out of recycled materials and fabric scraps. Puppetry combines theater and visual arts and in these workshops, after a small introduction with instructions, we create characters! We provide all the art making materials including craft glue, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, buttons, pom poms, ribbons, and much more. Every student leaves with their own new character.

Residencies

The staff of Squallis Puppeteers are available to teach more in-depth, multi-session workshops that offer students the chance to combine puppet-making and puppeteering skills. We have a few established residencies listed below, or we can discuss developing a specific residency to fit any creative and/or scholastic needs. We can focus on specified themes or subject matter from the classroom. Puppetry is a great way to enhance the study of any subject.
