Available workshops
There is a wide choice suitable for different
ages and abilities from pre-school to grade 6, something to
challenge secondary aged students and for interested adults
too.
Puppet Adventures offers its most popular
workshops in kit form which we prepare in advance. This has
proved to be a popular option for schools - no need to order
any special art materials or to provide any tools or equipment
and perhaps the most important of all no precious teacher
time spent on preparation. We bring everything that is needed.
FEES - Puppet Adventures is aware that in
schools there are many financial demands on parents for excursion/incursion
activities so we try to give the best deal we can.
Puppet Kits for workshops cost
$10. Schools with fewer than 20 students $200 plus travel (includes kits). We charge a travel fee of $2 per 10kms - this may be subject to change with fluctuating petrol prices.
Helen also offers a 1 hour interactive and
colourful demonstration of her own work as a puppet maker
and brings a display of puppets large and small for the students
to enjoy. She talks about different kinds of puppets and how
they work, materials used etc. and encourages questions from
the students. This enthuses the students and prepares them
for their own puppet making session. If you book puppet making
workshops this presentation is available for $50 extra.
With large groups of young students a few
volunteer adult assistants (eg. parents, grandparents, carers)
enables a workshop to run smoothly and everyone has a great
time.
REQUIREMENTS - a room large enough to set
up a puppet display and seat all the children for the demonstration,
on the floor is OK. Workshops can be held in the same space
or in classrooms.
CLASS SIZES - maximum 30 students for workshops,
200 for demonstration.
