Making Faces Workshop

Kathy McLellan & John Nolan of Ottawa’s Rag & Bone Puppet Theatre

Half day workshop at Puppetmongers Studio, Toronto: April 26th, from 2 to 4.30 p.m. Fee: $60 (materials included)

We’ll make masks or puppets out of a durable, tear-resistant felt called Flexi-firm. We love using this stiff fabric for masks, props and puppets because it can be sewn or glued, then painted or coloured using a variety of materials. Participants will then work in small groups to create a short presentation.

John Nolan and Kathy MacLellan, of Rag & Bone Puppet Theatre, have created twenty shows, toured, and worked in TV since 1978, earning an ACTRA award and a Citation of Excellence in the Art of Puppetry from UNIMA.
