Recurring Mixed Media Classes Puppet Making Workshop is offered each season and offers a creative, colorful morning or afternoon of fun for children and adults of all ages. Create a professional arm-rod-and-mouth puppet of your very own from Rene Rubalcava, owner and puppeteer of LV Puppet Studio of Las Vegas who learned the art of puppet making from a Jim Henson Muppeteer. In this workshop, we guide you from start to finish as you select, cut, hot glue and assemble the pieces and personality of your own customized puppet. No sewing is required in this workshop. Students bring their puppets to life with their own unique interests and imaginations, and by choice and placement of different face details. Each one is unique! Find your puppet’s voice and learn puppetry basics. Great fun for all ages! * No experience necessary. Learn to Create Your own Signature Scent in our Intro to Perfumery Workshop.

It treats the mending of broken pottery as an artful and spiritual practice, celebrating imperfections and the beauty of resilience.
