This is based on Czech historical designs from the 1920s and the workshop will include discussion about the significance of family puppet theatres in interwar Czechoslovakia.

These one-off workshops are designed for people who want to refresh their knowledge of puppet making as well as people who are new to the field. Our workshops aim to bring together puppeteers, students, and lovers of this craft together to teach new skills.
