Benefits of a Puppet Workshop

Puppets allow children to learn while having fun. I aim to give each child the opportunity for positive self expression. Puppet workshops offer a useful means of gathering and sharing knowledge on a given theme or topic. Participation in a puppet workshop allows children to learn something new and gain a sense of achievement.

Our puppet making workshops are aimed at a range of audiences including schools, museums, community organizations, festivals,  and other events. We cater for participants of all ages and abilities.

If you fancy another kind of workshop; whether it be based on recycling, environmental issues or any other theme, have a look through the 'non puppetry' workshops in the Gallery section to see the sort of workshops we can offer.

Our school puppet making workshops are designed to be in line with the Curriculum for Excellence. The workshops give pupils the opportunity to engage in cross curricular activities whilst having fun!
