Puppets & Costume Crafts
Working with Non Traditional Materials in Traditional Methods…
As is the case with most educators; we are short on time and money when it comes to our production work. Inevitably that means thinking outside of the box and using affordable materials from the dollar store or recycling packaging. Below are examples of my puppetry work with materials ranging from pool noodles, eva foam, worbla, buckram, foam clay, vinyl placemats, etc.
