We will use collected natural materials, found objects and simple wire and card structures to create puppets full of character, which can then be used in under-the-camera animation projects.

We will take inspiration from the material and see how those ideas can inform the character of our puppet. We will discuss the different approaches that can be taken in puppet design and making, and some tips and tricks that can be fed into the making stage, which eases the animation process.

Optional combined workshop with Hands-on Stop-Motion Animation.
