Want to take your creativity to the next level? Join this puppet-making holiday programme!
Students will learn how to make a marionette. They will create the head, limbs, body, garments, and most importantly, bring it to life!
Marionettes are a type of puppet that are controlled from above with string/wire. This enduring artform dates all the way back to Ancient Egypt and Greece and some historians even argue that marionettes predate actors in theatre. Their popularity has continued through the ages, and they are widely seen in theatre today, as well as film and television (Thunderbirds were all marionettes!).
Throughout this holiday programme, students will express their own creative vision whilst having fun in the process. Materials include a mix of papier-mâché, fabric, wool and pre-made eyes.
This course will be tutored by Anya Gladstone-Gallagher.
Spaces are limited, so get in quick!

As a Not for Profit organisation, we cannot exist without the generosity of our sponsors and funding providers. We could not offer art classes with low-class numbers and low fees, provide a high calibre of tutors, keep our membership fees low and present our NZ Awards, as a supportive environment for experienced and new artists, at such an affordable level.
We rely on our sponsor’s continued support to be able to bring an art platform to the Waikato, like no other, with a 90-year-old history. Our background is rich in innovation and a celebration of artists who have been through and continue to come through our doors at the WSA. Thank you very much.
