“It’s Alive!” (Stuffed Animal Puppets): (Adults 2-2.5 Hrs.)
What would happen if Dr. Frankenstein were let loose in a toy shop?&nbsp; Come animate a stuffed toy by making it into a puppet! This workshop will awaken the inner child of any adult. Eric will supply an array of cleaned, used stuffed animals to dissect.&nbsp; This class is a great and unique way to teach students about hand puppets.&nbsp; In this class, each student will begin with a stuffed animal, which we will then proceed to turn into a hand puppet by opening it up, learning to pattern its mouth, and constructing &amp; installing a mouth plate.&nbsp; Miraculously, this will animate a formerly inanimate object, turning it from a mere toy into a talking puppet.
Eric Weiss is an award-winning puppet maker and Creative Community Space guest artist who has led multiple workshops and camps each year at Creative Community Space since 2023.
