Get inspired by Wayne White: Revenge of the Knoxville Girl and learn the basics of giant puppet-making with the Cattywampus Puppet Council. Explore design, papier-mâché, and parade art techniques- then take your ideas home to create a puppet for the Cattywampus Parade & Block Party in May.
Open to all skill levels. Register by April 10.
What to Expect:
Giant Puppet Making 101
Learn the basics of designing and building giant puppets with Cattywampus Puppet Council. This hands-on workshop (ages 13+) covers papier-mâché, cardboard sculpting, rigging, and other low-cost parade art techniques.
While you won’t complete a full puppet during the session, you’ll gain practical skills, start your own design, and take home a Giant Puppet Making & Parade Art Manual. Create your piece for the Cattywampus Parade & Block Party on May 17 at Suttree Landing Park- this year’s theme, “Where the Waters Meet,” celebrates and protects our waterways.
Thanks to Cattywampus Puppet Council for partnering with the KMA on this program.
