In this practical puppetry masterclass, Peter Morton, Artistic Director of Half a String, will introduce the puppetry techniques the award-winning company uses in its shows and storytelling.

This will include basic techniques, using puppetry as part of an ensemble, as well as as a solo puppeteer. During the day, participants will create rough rehearsal puppets and explore ways to bring them to life, whilst also being introduced to the puppets from The Snowsmith, which is at Lakeside Arts this Christmas.

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move around in.
