Great Horned Owl Puppet - 18" (Folkmanis)

Even though it doesn't read as "great horned owl" to me, I love this guy's design so much. The dark facial disc, the varied textures, and the menagerie of colors already caught my eye, but if you watch the demo video, you can see the puppet also features a rotating head and blinking eyes. I'm happy to look past the accuracy to see this as a good owl. A great owl, even.

Folkmanis’ Puppets Dragon Wristlet, Pearl

Originally at The Green Man Review! The How to Train Your Dragon series of films has a place in my heart. Toothless is such an adorable cutie, I Cannot Even. But let’s not forget the adorable Light Fury that becomes Toothless’ mate. If you wish you could have one of your very own, the time is now; Folkmanis’ Pearl is an absolute delight. This particular puppet is part of their Wristlet Puppets…

To finish off Sunday, Bourbon took a trip to the historic Jefferson memorial. What a joy to be here! While he is here, he intends to reminds you to look at history with as complete a view as possible, not just the one dictated to us.

I really want to do some puppet courses at Little Angel Theatre! I'd love to hear more - which ones did you go to?

ooh I mean this was a few years ago, let me see. I think I did three or four courses there. The best thing was learning from Ronnie le Drew, he taught on several of the courses. (His best known work is puppeteering Zippy in Rainbow and Sweep in the Sooty Show and various background puppets in Labyrinth.) He taught us marionettes / glove / rod (muppets) / bunraku. He was really experienced and ever so kind, with lots of fun stories and patient advice. The class worked towards a marionette showcase in the theatre to perform for friends and family. I loved my puppet and was very sad to have to give him back at the end.

I also did a course about shadow puppetry with Steve Tiplady. Not just traditional jointed shadow puppets but also textures, like you’d put a dish of oil/water/food colouring on an old overhead projector and play with the shapes and colours, that was quite abstract and painterly. Some of the sessions were also led by Paper Cinema who do breathtaking stuff with illustration and cameras and digital projectors (look them up on YouTube). Another tutor did sessions about found objects, finding the character in floating rubbish bags and old clothing (there was an exercise where you had to make your coat ‘breathe’). That taught me a lot about movement and performance (e.g. even if it doesn’t have a face, a puppet should always be focused, to show it’s thinking about something, never just staring up aimlessly into the air). I also did a course where we made rod puppets out of milliput and tyvek. There was a fun-sounding course where you could go away for a week to the country and carve a wooden marionette with master craftsman John Roberts, but that was a bit advanced/expensive for me!

Best thing is to get on their mailing list and try to book a course as soon as booking opens, as they fill up fast. Other theatres sometimes do puppetry one-off workshops and talks too; I went to a brilliant lecture at the National about how they made War Horse. So keep looking at various theatres’ adult learning programmes (like the NT, Barbican, The Globe; I believe there’s also a puppet theatre in Norwich?) in case anything interesting pops up. But I think the Little Angel is the best place in the UK for an interested beginner to learn about all kinds of puppetry. Good luck, I hope you get a chance to study some puppetry very soon!!
