Join us for this fun and playful workshop making your very own paper puppet. Guided by experienced artist and teacher, Nina Katzmarksi, your child will learn to make a traditional German toy, the Hampelmann. These playful toys, made from paper, card and string are full of surprise as their character comes to life with the simple pull and release of string.

In this workshop your child will use a basic template to create their own character. They will decorate with collage, pens and embellish their designs in ways unique to them.

The workshop will run for 2 hours with a small snack break mid way through, so please bring something to nibble on. This workshop is suitable for kids 7+ :)

Please note: due to COVID restrictions we have strictly limited places. We adhere to the latest NSW Gov guidelines on social distancing and hygiene at all times.
