Puppets in Melbourne presents the School of Puppetry, where for six weeks you get to make your very own muppet-type puppet! In this puppetry course, you'll learn everything from design and character to materials and tools; from making the head to attaching rods!

Basic design, building with foam, methods of operation; you'll learn everything to make your very own professional-looking puppet. Best of all, you don't even have to be in the same country - everything is done live over the net! I'm offering an ONLINE ONLY class! All you need to participate is a copy of my patterns, internet access (a computer and keyboard is a good idea too!), and some time to build. It's really easy, all you need to do is three simple things.

THIS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. SORRY TO THOSE WHO WANT THE CLASSES.

If you miss a scheduled live class, then you can catch up by downloading the recorded video later, or by asking questions at the forum at the above site. Dates, times and all that can be found at the third link.

PS. The patterns are based on concepts from The Foam Book. I just happen to have an extra copy or two, and there may just be a giveaway to those people who turn up to the online building classes!

UPDATE: This 'course' is no longer available. The above links will no longer show any of the above info.
