Having a dedicated creative space is so important in getting those creative vibes going. You want to create an atmosphere that inspires dreaming and imagination. Also you want a space where you won't be constantly distracted.
​
In my Cre@tive Workshop I can record music and video, draw designs and build my characters. It's where all the magic happens!
Having space to work on my puppets is really important. You can see by this picture that I certainly use up all my desk space!

From this picture (right) I had three puppets in progress at the same time. I used a mix of fabrics including Nylafleece, Fuzzelle and Faux Fur. Sometimes I purchase the material already dyed, while at other times I've hand-dyed my own.
PUPPETRY 101
Thanks to the internet there are so many useful and quality tutorials out there which I will share. No point in me duplicating content when it already exists.
​
I've included some of my favourite puppet tutorials for you.
Adam Kreitinger (while no longer with us in person), is still one of my favourite puppet builders. He is practical, easy to understand and his passion for puppet building is inspiring. Be sure to check out his website - it's full of great resources!
