“LET’S MAKE A PUPPET! TWO CREATIVE SCHOOL HOLIDAY WORKSHOPS FOR KIDS”
Loco the Taco and Chef Jacques are coming to explore the kitchen with all the creative tools they've got!
Monday 11 July 2022, 10:00am-1:00pm for kids aged 10-15.
Tuesday 12 July 2022, 10:00am-1:00pm for kids aged 8-11.
In each 3 hour workshop we will learn how to use different materials such as foam and felt to design and create a puppet character. We will create a muppet (mouth puppet) and learn how to move the puppets in short scenes. No previous art experience necessary. All materials included.
Register your kids for either or both workshops on our website.
