Participants join teaching artist, Gabi Moore, to make unique puppets each week with simple materials that they will transform into animated characters. They will begin with inspiring movements to suggest a creature or person. Then, building on imagination and memory, they will select materials to realize their vision. Using cardboard, hot glue, paint, and a range of other materials they will put together the following:

Week 1: Hand puppets with cloth sleeve
Week 2: Thai inspired Shadow Puppets on a stick
Week 3: Marionette
Week 4: Masks on Stick

This class has a capacity of 16 students. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged and saves you $34 from the individual class rate.
