While the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry is closed, the museum will offer short, puppet-building and craft workshops via Facebook Live (http://facebook.com/BallardInstitute/) every Wednesday and Friday at 2 p.m. ET!

All past workshops are available on our Facebook and YouTube.

Papier-mâché and puppetry go together like PB&J. On July 1, Papier-Mâché Professional and UConn Puppet Arts graduate student Felicia Cooper will share her time-tested techniques.

Recommended for ages 6+.

Materials needed: brown paper bags/craft paper, newspaper, toilet paper, cornstarch, vinegar, baking soda, white glue

Felicia is leading this workshop with the support of the Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts.
