Let’s make art – and play with it! Yes, yes, play! We will be making our very own puppets and learning to work with them. We are inviting our young artists to enter an exciting world of textures, materials, characters, and endless possibilities to tell stories through puppets. It is truly magical when a few pieces of clay, paper, strings, and cloth come to life in the creative hands of a puppeteer.

Puppet making involves an array of art techniques and offers development of many important skills. We will sketch, sculpt, paint, cut, glue and more to make our characters. And while we are busy making our little actors, we will think up the stories they can tell. Older friends are welcome to join this program as well. You cannot be too old to play with puppets! On top of creating puppets there will be opportunities for creative writing, prop making even directing short scenes.  

We extended this camp to a two-week format to give our new puppeteers more time to master the art of puppetry. We also plan to add more art projects and exciting field trips. Stay tuned for detailed plans for this summer. One week option is available. Projects and activities will be different each week, with the performance being the culmination of all of them on the last day of week 2.
