Puppet Workshops with Faerykin Theater: Make, Perform, and Create!
At Faerykin Theater, puppets are portals to imagination, creativity, and expression. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer interactive puppet workshops that bring the magic of puppetry to classrooms, libraries, community centers, theater programs, and more.
Whether you’re a teacher, parent, performer, or simply a lover of storytelling, our workshops are designed to spark creativity and give you hands-on experience in every aspect of puppet arts: from making and manipulating puppets to writing and performing your own puppet shows.
Make Your Own Puppet Workshop
It all begins with creation! In our puppet-making workshops, participants get to design and build their very own puppet using a variety of accessible materials from paper bags and felt to socks, foam, and fabric.
We offer:
- Beginner puppet builds for kids and families (paper, popsicle stick, sock, or felt puppets)
- Intermediate foam puppetry techniques for older students and hobbyists
- Advanced puppet fabrication for performers, artists, or theater professionals
Our teaching artists provide step-by-step guidance on designing characters, sewing or gluing parts, and exploring movement mechanics (mouths, arms, eyes, etc.). Every puppet is a one-of-a-kind creation—ready for storytelling, stage, or screen!
Learn How to Perform with Puppets Workshop
Once you’ve made your puppet, it’s time to bring it to life! Our puppet performance workshops teach you the art of puppeteering through fun, interactive activities that build confidence and skill.
In these sessions, we cover:
- Basic puppetry techniques (eye focus, lip-sync, movement)
- Voice development and character creation
- Puppet improv games to get your puppet “talking”
- Stage and camera puppetry, including blocking and angles
- How to work with multiple puppeteers and ensemble casts
Whether you’re performing for a classroom skit or preparing for a full-length puppet play, we help you find your voice and your style. And yes, we always encourage silly voices and dramatic flair!
Write Your Own Puppet Show Workshop
Every great puppet needs a story! In our puppet show writing workshops, we help participants develop their own short scripts or scenes for performance.
You’ll learn:
- How to brainstorm puppet-friendly stories
- How to write dialogue and scenes for visual storytelling
- How to structure a mini puppet play
- Techniques for comedy, timing, and audience interaction
- How to write for specific puppet types or characters
Our writing sessions are collaborative, fast-paced, and fun. Whether you’re a teacher looking to build a classroom performance or a group crafting a festival show, we help turn your ideas into stage-ready puppet plays.

Why Puppetry?
Puppetry is a powerful tool for learning, communication, and confidence. Through puppetry, participants explore storytelling, problem-solving, collaboration, fine motor skills, and emotional expression. It encourages imagination, empathy, and public speaking in a safe and supportive environment.
It’s art. It’s theater. It’s therapy. And it’s FUN.
