Puppetry Carving Course 2007

[wobblydog]

Thanks for posting this, I did this wonderful course not expecting to be able to carve a single piece as i'm cack handed at woodwork and even though I now have a finished puppet I couldn't remember how to start, This vid is great in jogging the memory though I wish there was more info. John is a wonderful teacher though he sounds quite stern and dry while telling you about the water stone sharpener which isn't the case at all!

I am so happy that the tradition of this theatre is still alive. I used to go there when I was a little girl!

If anyone would like more information on the type of Puppets shown in this Video the following will be useful:

PuppetCraft is a touring puppet company based in Devon, UK and provided the course shown in this video.

The Little Angel Theatre is a Puppet Theatre in London, UK, and the Video was filmed here.

Both of these companies have websites with lots of information on Shows and Courses.

what wood do u recomend carving with?

[bonbichie]

I used Lime wood for the arms , legs and middle part of the pelvis, the rest is Jelutong which is the softer of the two, hope this helps!

Thank you for posting this. I live in the US, but would love to travel over there and take this course in the future! I'd love to find out some of those Chinese Carving Secrets...
