Puppets of Jiangsu

Puppets don't need to be elaborate to be effective or attractive, as Joe demonstrates with these farm animal puppets that he constructed out of sheets of colored craft foam and mounted onto popsicle sticks.

14th Antiracist Festival Athens

Huge puppets outside The World of Kids. From a collection of photographs taken at the sell-out 2014 WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance)

festival at CharltonPark near Malmesbury, Wiltshire. 2014 ranks as the best so far for us

- great music, quality food and fine weather. We decided not to lug our heavy camera kit around

this year so these were all taken on a compact (G15/16). See www.WOMAD.co.uk for more informaiton

about this wonderful annual festival.

Puppet found in room 509

for later scanning with the inkscanner - we're trying to do a really precise scan this time and reprint it in 3D to shrink the physical puppet...

It was a Summer Reading Extravaganza by Puppet Pizzazz! The kids saw some amazing puppets in action!

The most important thing I leaned: practical notes about what works and what doesn't. For one thing, the rods: online tutorials recommended a thin, steel rod; in actual practice, the puppets were so large and their acting so animated that MUCH thicker rods were needed. Also, having that little handle helped the performers know how the hand was positioned when they couldn't see the actual arm/hand.

Our new puppet theater has seen a lot of use lately.

These puppets have books in their mouths.

This year Prism Arts are running Carlisle's Puppet Pageant Parade (Saturday 1st September.) Our theme is 'Unsung Women of Cumbria.' I'm working with the group I made the Processions Banner with to create a puppet of leading suffragist and peace activist Catherine Marshall.

Another framing experimient, this time from above the puppet.

This picture is from a session I did at CopyCamp on using puppets as a role playing aid. I wanted to mix a video but we got a little crazy and didn't make a whole lot of sence. So I grabbed stills from the video.
