The Puppet Project


SummerFun! / Arts & Crafts -
SummerFun! 2026

Explore the art of puppetry as you design original characters and bring them to life through movement, voice, and storytelling. Experiment with a variety of styles, from finger and rod puppets to imaginative “junk” creations and expressive shadow silhouettes, while trying new ideas and refining your designs. Leave with a small collection of unique puppets and a deeper sense of how performance and craft work together.
