Saturdays, May 20, and 27, and June 3 | 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | Sábados, 20 y 27 de mayo y 3 de junio

Inspired by Indonesian rod puppets, artist Sheela Das will lead participants in making simple papier-mâché and painted puppet heads on wooden dowels with fabric bodies. This is a three-workshop series, although participants may attend as many as desired. The first session will be for creating the structure (head), with the second and third sessions for painting and creating the body. Participants can bring their own fabric to craft doll outfits—transform baby clothes or old pajamas! Participants will be encouraged to bring their puppets to Parade the Circle on Saturday, June 10.   

Inspirada en los títeres de varilla de Indonesia, la artista Sheela Das guiará a los participantes en la fabricación de simples cabezas de marionetas de papel maché y pintadas en clavijas de madera con cuerpos de tela simples. Esta es una serie de tres talleres, aunque los participantes pueden asistir a tantos como deseen. La primera sesión será crear la estructura (cabeza) con la segunda y tercera sesiones para pintar y crear el cuerpo. Los participantes pueden traer su propia tela para crear trajes de muñecas: ¡transforma ropa de bebé o pijamas viejos! Se animará a los participantes a traer sus títeres a Desfile por el Circle el sábado, 10 de junio.
