Last Thursday I trekked up to Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH to do a puppetry workshop sponsored by Safe Zones. After a brief history of puppetry as a tool for creative resistance, we assembled our own puppets from cardboard, fabric, hot glue, and glitter. All the puppets were creepy and magical. Needless to say I was impressed.
If you or your group or organization are interested in a workshop please contact me at stitchingtentacles@gmail.com
