After reading the review of the puppet school in LA (see here
http://puppetsandstuff.com/community/index.php/topic,7513.msg68751.html#new) I was thinking more on the main reason why I wanted to take the course. I wanted to be connected to other puppet makers out there. I live in Vegas, and I haven't come across anyone else who does this type of thing here. My family is super crafty and are always making something. And my sister, mom and I go on annual retreats for quilting. Basically a group of about 20 people, take over a hotel meeting room for a weekend and just quilt. (Correction, they quilt, I make puppets and freak out all the old ladies.) We have a fabulous time. Lot's of projects. Lots of food.
Since we are a crafty bunch, we have tossed around the idea of opening a shop to provide a space for crafter to come in, and teach classes tho those who want to learn. One of the things we are going to offer is sewing retreats like the ones we have been on. BUT, now that I think about it, it would be great to have a puppet makers retreat too. I would love to see other people's process when working. Would anyone be interested in doing something like that? Or are you guys all content in your studios making things solo?
