Puppetmaking and Puppetry workshop with Josh Macrow

Saturday & Sunday | 25th and 26th April 2026
📍 Underdog Crew Studios

Legendary British puppet maker and puppeteer Josh Macrow is coming to Underdog Crew Studios for an exciting, hands-on weekend of puppet making and puppetry.

Josh’s work spans some of the UK’s most loved and iconic productions, including CBeebies’ Dodge’s Puppet School, AVALON’s Spitting Image, The Furchester Hotel Live, and Tom Fletcher’s There’s a Monster in Your Show — and now he’s sharing his skills with the next generation of creators.

Over two creativity-packed days, participants will:

• Design and build their own performance-ready puppet
• Learn core puppetry skills including movement, character, and performance
• Gain confidence through playful, practical storytelling

And for those who want to take things one step further…
Participants will have the opportunity to perform a puppet (or two!) on set for Underdog Crew’s gloriously bonkers “Woody’s World” puppet TV show pilot 🎬🧸

✨ Ages: 11–16
✨ Experience: No prior experience needed
✨ SEN: Fully embraced in a supportive, inclusive, and understanding environment

This is a rare chance to learn from one of the best in the industry, explore creativity without pressure, and be part of something wonderfully weird.
