Pollinator Puppet Making Workshop

Join us to celebrate the importance of pollinators! From bats to butterflies and bugs, you'll have a chance to help tell a visual story of some of our most important ecological allies.

Willow Bend is thrilled to be partnering with Red Herring Puppets of Tucson on a fun-filled, hands-on afternoon of puppet making. In this family-friendly workshop, participants will work with Willow Bend and Red Herring staff to build six large (2-4 feet) puppets on rods, along with pollinator and flower-themed cardboard masks to be used in a parade and exhibition later this year!

Activities may include using contact adhesive to glue parts together, applying a glue and paper mixture for color and stability, sewing, painting, and simple assembly. Red Herring Puppets will prepare puppet bases and materials in advance and will guide participants throughout the build, with support from Willow Bend staff.

Registration is required and will open Friday, February 21st at 9AM.
