Puppet Building Office Hours
Â
Puppet Building Office Hours is a monthly, community-centered space designed to support the builders and makers in our field—whether you’re just starting out, experimenting with new materials, or refining a long-standing practice.
Each session features a guest host who is a well-established, versatile puppet builder working in the industry today. These artists frequently join us directly from their home or professional studio spaces, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at real-world puppet-building practices.
This is not a lecture or a polished demo—it’s an open, conversational office hour where registrants can:
- Ask questions about materials, tools, and techniques
- Get feedback on works-in-progress
- Learn how professional builders problem-solve in their own studios
- Connect with other puppet makers in a supportive environment
Our goal is to create access—to knowledge, to artists, and to the kind of practical insight that often only comes from years of hands-on experience.
Welcome to the Library
Many of our instructors want to keep the information shared during their office hours flowing.Â
