  • 8/21 Painting Puppets Workshop

    Join us on Facebook Live (http://facebook.com/BallardInstitute/) for our last online puppet-building workshop of the summer! 

    Painting is an important part of the puppet-making process! Join UConn Puppet Arts senior Elise Vanase on Friday, August 21 to learn how to effectively paint a puppet for theater, as well as how to create cool textures with what you have around the house. Recommended for ages 4+. 

    Materials needed: paint, paint brushes, newspaper, plastic wrap, something to paint (papier-mâché or newspaper and masking tape heads are great), optional: netting, old toothbrush, sponge

    All past workshops are available on our Facebook and YouTube.
