In this workshop, we’ll use a variety of printmaking techniques to create papers with different colors, patterns, and textures. We’ll cut up our printed papers and other collage materials, and reassemble them as articulated paper puppets! Our characters will take inspiration from the posters and photographs in the Museum. Learn techniques for making prints and rubbings, cutting out shapes safely and precisely, creating joints for paper puppets, and puppet movement. We’ll have the option to attach rods to our puppets to help them move, and we’ll also use our characters in some stop motion animation experiments. Come bring your creations to life!“My son loved it!
