In this class, participants will learn how to create a puppet skeleton/base from recycled materials and everyday household items. The class is a 3.5 hour step-by-step guide on making a basic animal skeleton using plastic, forks, cardboard, tape, string and other common overlooked materials.  The guide is a simple easy-to-follow jumping point for participants to make their own simple or complex, creature of choice, whether that be flying, swimming, crawling, real, or imaginary. Come learn to explore materials, enjoy the process of hands-on puppet ideation & experimentation, and think differently about your trash while learning a bit of animal anatomy while you're at it!
