Come: explore magical costumes, learn how to make a giant puppet move, develop new skills like felting, carving, sculpture, drawing, painting, music and storytelling. Each week is a little different from the last. Over the summer we collectively work on the creation of a giant puppet which will be used for years to come in festivals and parades around Nova Scotia.
