Family ArtVentures: American Folk Puppetry

Explore the rich tradition of American folk puppetry during this two-hour puppet-making workshop led by Mary Ellen Kerby. Use common materials to construct a traditional American folk puppet and then bring it to life with fun scripts from the American folk tradition that inspired the likes of Howdy Doody, Sherri Lewis and Lamb Chop, the Muppets, and Sesame Street. The class is geared to all age levels; no experience is necessary and materials are provided. Preregister at 888-6240. The 2011-12 Family ArtVentures series is sponsored by Target and the Woods Family & Woods House Music and Arts Fund.
