2025-07-14 09:00 - 2025-07-18 15:30 | Creative Community Space, 218 Main Street, Epping, NH, 03042, United States
This Is Puppetry
Ever wonder how those puppets you see on television and in movies are made? In this class I teach you the secrets to building your very own foam patterned hand and rod puppet and all the materials, elements, and skills that go into making them look so real and lifelike. We will also learn fundamentals to creating a character through the use of color, texture, different materials, and movement, as well as how to manipulate your puppet to bring your character to life. These puppets are sewn and covered in fleece using the “Henson” or “Ladder” stitch. No previous puppetry skills needed, (basic hand sewing skills are helpful) just your imagination and creativity are required.
*Eric Weiss, of HomeSlice Pupperty, is a CCS guest artist, is a talented puppet maker that shares his skills with Creative Community Space young artists a couple of times a year. See more information about Eric https://creativecommunityspace.com/meet-the-teaching-members/
This is for students going into fourth grade and up in the fall of 2025
Practicing the stitches below will help students have more time to imagine their character and require less time learning to sew.

Giant Parade Puppets Camp!
2025-07-21 09:00 - 2025-07-25 15:30 | Creative Community Space, 218 Main Street, Epping, NH, 03042, United States
Puppets have a way of capturing the imagination. When you see them in a parade they are often BIG. From a Dragon puppet used to celebrate the Chinese New Year to the upside-down Marionettes of the great Tony Sarg’s creations in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, parade puppets are a main attraction and are what everyone talks about after the parade ends.
In this class we are going to sculpt a large puppet head and then mount the head onto a wooden frame which we will load into a backpack. We will build some hands on rods and connect them together with fabric arms. Wha-lah these marching giants are sure to entertain their makers and fascinate and delight their audience!
Please note. These puppets are easy to disassemble. The heads can become a sculptural decoration when not in use and the arms can be stored in a closet or under a bed.
These are great Halloween Costumes!
*This Camp is for children going into 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th grade in the fall of 2025.
*This is a 5 day camp from 9-3:30. Students bring their own lunch, water bottle and snack.
*Important note: Students will get to keep the entire puppet, except for the backpack, Homeslice Puppetry will need to take them back at the end of the class. If you would like to bring your own backpack with you that would be perfectly fine, however it must be a backpack with a hip belt, and it may get damaged from putting a wooden frame inside it so I recommend an older used backpack.
