Example from Puppet Making workshop

Join the world of Tape Guys! Each workshop participant will invent a character and create a tape guy puppet. These little puppets are made from recycled materials and are easy to recreate at home for anyone who would like to make a whole cast. Each puppet is attached to a chopstick and can be performed in a shoe box theater. Fun for the whole family! 

Thank You Sponsors!
