Do you have a fantastic puppet living under your bed? You don’t?! Well, we can fix that. Come to this build-along workshop and create your own collection of incredible paper puppets.
Participants will chose from a variety of puppet artwork that they can print out and use to assemble their own cast of puppets. Each week we will provide a different theme of original art created by the talented staff of Sea Beast Puppet Company. This craft is great for kids age 5-12, but is fun for everyone!
