We will begin with basic Origami shapes to learn about symmetry, unity, and balance. In week 2, we will make an assemblage using found items. In week 3, we will make abstract foam sculptures. In weeks 4 & 5, we will create freeform sculpture with items of choice added to a base, and finish any outstanding projects.

It's Alive!!! - Stuffy Puppets
2026-05-15 15:30 - 18:00 | Creative Community Space, 218 Main Street, Epping, NH, 03042, United States
“It’s Alive!” (Stuffed Animal Puppets): (Grades 3 & up, 2-2.5 Hrs.)
What would happen if Dr. Frankenstein were let loose in a toy shop? Now I know what you are thinking: my child will be devastated and traumatized if we cut their favorite stuffed animal apart to create a puppet! Relax, my friends, I will supply an array of cleaned, used stuffed animals to dissect. This class is a great and unique way to teach students about hand puppets. In this class, each student will begin with a stuffed animal, which we will then proceed to turn into a hand puppet by opening it up, learning to pattern its mouth, and constructing & installing a mouth plate. Miraculously, this will animate a formerly inanimate object, turning it from a mere toy into a puppet.
Creative Community Staff will pick students up at Epping Elementary School and walk them down to the Art Center. Students who are commuting should arrive by 3:35.
Registration deadline May 1st, midnight
No refunds after this date
