Puppetry

Shadow Puppetry
I offer a demonstration in the ancient art of shadow puppetry followed by a workshop. The children make simple shadow puppets from card, colour them with inks, oil them so that they become translucent and perform with them. Beautiful coloured puppets can be made by most children regardless of their drawing skills.

Glove Puppets
I have a selection of glove puppets that can be used by younger children and children with learning difficulties.

Giant Puppets
During the summer term I run workshops in making large puppets using willow and tissue paper. This can be used to dramatise a story to celebrate your arts week or end of year performance.

Stories in a Tipi

For the summer time, for festivals, at schools and private events, I can arrive with a medium sized Tipi (15 foot diameter) and tell stories with suitable themes, such as North American Indians, tribal people in Asia, trees, animals and the environment generally.

The Tipi needs a suitable grassed area in which to be pitched

The Tipi can also be hired for holidays.
Contact me by e-mail or phone for details.
