Earlier this year I went on a fantastic 10 day masterclass with Andrew Kim of Thingumajig Theatre Company. I learned SO MUCH! and met some brilliant artists and puppet makers. This course inspirited me to go back to my roots of theatre design and I sought out opportunities to put my new (and old) skills into practise. :-)

Here’s the giant lantern puppets that we created on the masterclass, in their parade debut at Winter In Bloom in Colne.

Check out some of the lovely projects I have worked on utilising those skills since …
