For all ages! Starting with a 1 hour puppet build, this can be building a simple sock, bag, or rod puppet with provided materials, OR if people have their own puppets and need help to brainstorm, they may use this time for that as well. This first half is optional if you already have a puppet. The second half of class is a 1 hour puppet jam: Using a playboard and puppet stage, participants can play with and devise for their puppets using music, stories, and other fun techniques, while keeping in mind the question, why puppet? Cost includes materials.
