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.
Ask Felicia Cooper, a UConn Puppet Arts graduate student, and Elise Vanase, a UConn Puppet Arts undergraduate student, all about being puppeteers and students during these trying times! They will be open to questions about materials, performance, and construction techniques as well as their experience as students of puppetry. Also, they will discuss their upcoming projects this year in addition to how they will continue their studies effectively online. Recommended for ages 6+.
