So you've seen Avenue Q, Sesame St and The Muppets and want to build your own puppet? Perfect! Puppets in Melbourne presents the School of Puppetry, where for six weeks you get to make your very own muppet-type puppet! Learn everything from design and character to materials and tools; from making the head to attaching rods!
Basic design, building with foam, methods of operation; you'll learn everything to make your very own professional-looking puppet. Included in the classes are easy-to-follow worksheets, patterns, your very own puppet stand for display at home, a short lesson on performing with your puppet, and much more. And of course, you get to KEEP the puppet you make! You don't have to have craft experience, just enthusiasm!
Dates: Saturdays 23rd, 30th Jan; 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th Feb 2010.
Times: 9am - 4pm
Venue: Meeting Room at Northcote Library, 32-38 Separation St, Northcote (Melbourne).
Cost: $318 per person, inclusive of materials and tools (add another $30 for a copy of The Foam Book, an industry standard resource and accompaniment to the classes). Places are limited to 20 people
