Create puppet characters using natural and found objects
Join us at Granville Park for a playful, hands-on workshop where imagination takes the lead. With guidance from local creative John Bowhers and using everyday natural and found objects, create unique puppet characters that transform ordinary materials into expressive works of art. Leave with a one-of-a-kind puppet and fresh inspiration for imaginative storytelling.
