Get ready to dream, design, and create! In these magical 2-hour workshops, you’ll dive into the art of imaginative storytelling through the playful world of puppetry.  

Led by the creative team from Indirect Object, you’ll learn clever techniques to design, build, and tell your story in the most enchanting way possible. First, dream up your story and bring your characters to life with paper, collage, and colour. Then, craft your very own Paper Theatre — a miniature stage where your imagination takes centre stage!
