Build it.

Create your own puppet based on the star of the show; or make a puppet using materials found in your region. Whether weaving organic elements like grass or twigs, to assembly of recycled objects, resourcefulness and imagination are key.

Make it.

Erth has made a range of online workshops for young people and schools, using everyday materials found around the house. Get in touch with us to see what workshops we can tailor for you… want to make your own dinosaur? Or a rhino?

Masterclasses

Learn performance and intuition skills to create authentic puppetry. 

From time to time Erth presents, or facilitates with visiting artists, masterclasses for those wishing to further their skills in puppet making and manipulation.

Explore principles of design and construction covering some of the key materials and techniques that have become part of Erth’s signature practice, and learn performance skills to create authentic puppetry.
