Schools

Shadow Puppet Workshop

Children in grades 2 to 5 are invited to the library to learn about the Balinese artistic tradition of "Wayan Kulit" or shadow puppetry.  The workshop will be run by Celia Knight, an elementary art teacher in the Acton Public Schools.

Kids will read Balinese folktales, watch some puppetry, and discuss ideas for new folklore characters and tales.  Each child will create a movable shadow puppet by using their imagination to mix animal traits together to invent a unique folklore creature.  

The class is limited to 12 participants, so please register with the library's youth services department.
