Folded-Face Puppets: Workshop for Families

A hands-on workshop inspired by paper arts innovations of the ‘70s! Create your own moving mouth puppet, with an oceanic theme.

This hands-on workshop is inspired by paper arts innovations of the ‘70s. Participants will learn to engineer paper to create their own moving mouth puppets, inspired by an “Ocean of Possibilities” theme. Dive under the sea to draw the big mouth of a hammerhead shark then add triangular teeth to complete the design, or switch to pink to add flippers and a fluke to create a swimming dolphin! Cut yellow tentacles with orange spots to make the suction cups of a dancing octopus! Anything is possible and this project is great for all creative levels.

All ages welcome, recommended for 4 – 7 and their grown-ups
