Sculptures & Sips: Mechanical Reef Workshop

Under the guidance of Dead Puppet Society’s artisans at our Fabrication Workshop, you will choose elements of your coral reef landscape and fish, paint your seascape with inks colour matched to species native to the Great Barrier Reef, and observe the material of your fish being cut out on the laser cutter, seeing first-hand how laser-cutting technologies are used to build the puppets and props for stage productions. You will then assemble your coral reef landscape inside a glass dome, and construct the mechanism to make it move. Gain an insight into the basic principles of puppet design, and the magic and mechanisms that bring your reef to life.

Celebrate Australia's iconic and beautiful coral reefs and marine life in this hands-on maker workshop combining the craftsmanship of puppetry with the expertise of talented artisans.

Gain a glimpse into the world of design-led theatre that Dead Puppet Society is renowned for, and learn from the masterminds behind box office hits Holding Achilles, Ishmael, The Wider Earth, and the Australian Premiere of Disney's Peter and the Starcatcher.
