While the Ballard Institute is closed, the museum will offer short, puppet-building and craft workshops via Facebook Live (http://facebook.com/BallardInstitute/) every Wednesday and Friday at 2 p.m. ET! All past workshops are available on our Facebook and YouTube.
Paper maché and puppetry go together like PB&J. On July 1, Paper Maché Professional and UConn Puppet Arts graduate student Felicia Cooper will share her time-tested techniques. Recommended for ages 6+.
Materials needed: brown paper bags/craft paper, newspaper, toilet paper, cornstarch, vinegar, baking soda, white glue
Felicia is leading this workshop with the support of the Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts.
