In workshops teaching how to make different types of puppets, the participants learn about the history of a specific type of puppet as well as the basics of making and manipulating it. Visitors can choose between the stick puppet workshop and the shadow puppet workshop. The stick puppet workshop is suitable for pre-schoolers and primary school children. Children create theatrical stick puppets – princes, princesses, or clowns – together. In the shadow puppet workshop, it is possible to choose between a simple puppet and a more complex puppet. The simple puppet is suitable for the pupils of first and second grade; while making the more complex shadow puppet is appropriate for pupils starting from third grade.
Once the puppet has been made, each new character has a chance to appear on the theatre stage for the first time.
