The Magical World of Puppets

Workshop
Limited capacity – sign up required

After viewing the exhibition of the same name, participants will discuss how a puppet can become an artistic object and a bearer of a story. Inspired by Old Slavic mythology, Prigorje motifs and nature, participants will design their own puppet or fantastical creature. They will combine different materials and textures and explore the form, character and symbolism of their characters.
