“Jean Marie brings firm compassion and clarity to her coaching sessions. I felt stalled and she helped me find a path of insight and productivity. When I was in a tough spot (more than once!) during our sessions, she gave me the encouragement I needed to stay focused, the permission to be only mediocre if it didn’t mean giving up entirely, and when things were going absolutely haywire in my private life, the thread to stay connected to a caring creative community. I absolutely would not be where I am today without Jean Marie’s influence.”
- Laurie Everitt
“Jean Marie’s Creative Workshop gave me a support group, a place to share, think and move forward in my artistic field, at a time when I felt particularly stuck. Throughout the sessions, under her professionalism, kindness, and broad experience, Jean Marie was able to give me the tools, energy and focus I needed to start moving again in the direction that felt right to me. 7 months later, I am still benefiting from our discussions and her coaching.”
- Maite Agopian, CHAK
“When you're dreaming wildly of making unusual bits of puppetry magic it's wonderful to have sherpas to guide and shoulders to lean on when creating feels more like birthing a cactus. I've done the monitor classes, a workshop in person, and the group coaching. Each experience has been lovely, challenging, and warm. Getting a chance to work with the industry's best has meant everything to me.”
- Crystal Rae Playwright, Producer, and Puppeteer

Also, check out our friends at Puppet Club! (And it's free!!!) 

Puppet Club is an online meeting place for young people (aged approximately 15 - 30) who love puppets and who are neurodiverse or “differently-wired.” Most have Autism Spectrum Disorder, while others have Learning/Intellectual Disabilities… everyone is welcome at Puppet Club and we celebrate our differences! 

The Club strives to foster social interactions, collaborations, friendships, and above all to further our members’ knowledge, artistry and professionalism in the field of puppetry. Many of our meetings center around socializing, sharing artwork, and learning from each other, while others tackle more specific topics ranging from “parody” to “copyright” or “puppet wrangling” to “audition self-tape 101” - and at some meetings we even have special guests!
