Puppeteer and performer Freddie Hayes is offering puppet workshops as part of her Arts Council Funded project - “Potatohead”.
These workshops are for people ages 14+. Particularly young people anybody who has struggled with loneliness, remote learning and unemployment over the past 2 years.
The workshops will allow participants to build confidence and develop creative skills by exploring their own identity through puppetry. These workshops will be super fun way of learning and relaxing.
These workshops are FREE !
WHAT?
During the workshop you will learn how to make your own puppet using car sponges, household objects and any bits and bobs you can find. Freddie will also supply these materials for the workshop. You will design your puppet character, create a moving mouthpiece and decorate your puppet. There is also an optional performance for a chance to perform with your puppet at the end of the session.
HOW LONG?
The sessions will be from 6:30-8pm on 4th August at CLAY and you must book a Free ticket

This is event is wheelchair accessible. We have done what we can to make the space accessible by including a wheelchair friendly portaloo on the floor of the event space. We also have 2 gender-neutral toilets that are down a flight of stairs that is 12 steps. Unfortunately, there is no lift in our building. The rest of the building is on one floor. Unless stated this is a relaxed performance. If you need any more information please check our venue info page here.
