I have finally made the patterns and got them all printed out for this brand-new workshop, which I am calling Scrappits, since originally, they were made from scrap fur I had left over from other puppet builds. With the help of Nina Oberlin I have been able to offer finally this 10-hour workshop, broken into three days, to answer the demand for this hand and rod puppet workshop. Cost is $250.00 per student, and it covers all materials to make one of the four designs plus the patterns for the other three. The workshop runs July 17th-19th from 1:00-4:30PM each of the three days. Wish us luck we are only taking 6 students this time due to the nature of the workshop. Later I may have the patterns and instructions for sale online! https://wwwpuppetmuseumstore.contentshelf.com/product?product=I260601000007848
