Copper Shadow Puppet Making Workshop

Spend the day making copper shadow puppets inspired by folklore of the British Isles. Work with fire to heat and soften your copper to prepare it for decorating and cutting out. Use a range of different metal tools and hammers to create texture and pattern on your puppets, bringing your characters to life. Then gather around the fire in one of our atmospheric Iron Age roundhouses and watch your designs come to life.
