Deluxe Sock Puppets!!!
2024-05-03 15:30 - 17:30
Deluxe Sock Puppets!
This is not your average run-of-the-mill Sock Puppet class. This class teaches the basics of
creating a puppet character, and all the elements needed to do so. Then students will learn to
build a mouth plate and by using this plate as well as a foam “skull” for a round head shape,
they will give their puppets a much greater range of motion and movement than an average
sock puppet. Students will then proceed to create their characters and build their puppets!
This is an “After School” Workshop for grades 3-7.
“Transportation” Vandy Leigh will pick students up after school at Epping Elementary school and walk them down to the art center. Middle School students are asked to walk down to Creative Community Space on their own. All youth not attending Epping schools should arrive at Creative Community Space no later than 3:30.
Materials = $ 15.00
Instruction= $ 35.00
Total= $ 50.00
Registration: There is a limit on class size – Register today!!! We need 5 students to run this great workshop, please tell your children’s friends about this opportunity!
Registration Deadline: DEADLINE EXTENDED to May 1st. Cancelations on or before April 19th receive full refund. No refunds after April 19th due to costs.
This workshop is led by Guest Artist Eric Weiss. Learn more about Eric here: https://creativecommunityspace.com/meet-the-teaching-members/

If you are feeling ill, please stay home. We’d love to see you another time!
