Hey gang, I just found out that there are still openings in the Pup-It workshop tomorrow in Portland. If you have the time and are interested in puppet construction, I highly, highly, highly recommend this workshop.
Eric Wright, one of the three head chefs from New York City’s The Puppet Kitchen, is visiting the Portland Puppet scene for a weekend of workshops. Come on over to Cast Iron Carousel to participate in a Pup-It Workshop.
Each Pup-It Workshop involves two hours of hands-on instruction with Mr. Wright. He will also provide you with the materials, the patterns, and the know how — basically everything you need to design and build your own Pup-it Puppet.

?c/story?section=news%2Floc ?al&id=7564658 The Puppet Kitchen Pup-its are excellent moving mouth or “lip-synch” puppets. They are perfect for beginners, or anyone looking to pick up a puppet making trick or two. (you’ll find they’re perfect for web videos, dinner parties, even complex Shakespearean recitation.)
Ages 10 through Adult are encouraged. Scissors and hot glues are used so please if younger guest would like to attend, please email us and be prepared to have a guardian in attendance.
The price is $50 per 2 hr session. Each session will result in a completed functional puppet. Reservations Required: email us at [email protected]
?m, with the subject line “Portland Workshop” Workshop Dates: July 8th & 9th, 2011 at 1 p.m. class size is limited to 10; reserve your Pup-It now!
Unless the materials list is “sock” and “googly eyes” it’s probably too advanced for me. Sounds like a neat activity for crafty older kids, though!
This is a really good pattern. You’d have no trouble with it.
