Feedback from previous workshops:

“Thank so much Daisy for expert tuition and everyone else for being such a smashing bunch. Tuesdays are going to feel very empty without puppet club!”

“Thank you for such a totally fabulous course. It was such a treat and such a lot of lovely people making creating beautiful puppets. I've always had a bit of a block making anything 3D but the building blocks of making a puppet were so easy to to do that before I knew it I had a character. That was a surprise.

“I liked making a puppet but I also liked the laid back part of talking to people. I’ve come away with skills I’ll use again. I’m making another puppet at home.”

“the course opened up fresh ideas all round!”

I am now offering one-to-one puppet making classes from my home studio in Newhaven, East Sussex!

Beginner’s One Day Workshop

Simple materials and techniques will be used to make a glove puppet, as this is quite a straight forward style with which to start your puppet making journey. As well as your own puppet, you will also leave with advice on how to develop this style of puppet, if you want to make a more detailed version. Materials are provided, but feel free to bring along any specific fabric or decorations you might particularly want to use for the body.

Free Online Monkey Puppet Workshop for families

In December 2024 I ran a community puppet making workshop in Newhaven. This was part of a project ran by Ignite Theatre, a Newhaven local theatre company, with whom I worked for in their Christmas show, The Twits.

I created an online version of the workshop, which can be found here.
