An Introduction to Using Worbla in Puppet Making
2 - 3 September
with Judith Hope
18+
Join this course for an introduction into using Worbla, a fabulous, thermo-resin material, great for sculpting, decorative work and many practical uses.
On this course we will focus on using Worbla in puppet making, including over a fixed clay form, with a wet clay sculpt, forming hands and feet, making patterns and more. Over the weekend Judith will guide you through a number of tasks as you learn to manipulate and work with this wonderfully adaptive material.
We will be using the original brown Worbla’s Finest Art.
(Please note, we will not be making finished puppets, instead you will be creating a series of small samples to take home, to use as reference for future projects).
