BOOK
Using Balinese rod and shadow puppets for inspiration, participants will create a moving fish puppet based on shapes, patterns and colours of native fish. You will be carefully guided and encouraged in ways of drawing their fish shape onto strong card or paper to create a fish puppet and will be shown ways to work their puppet. DELWP reps will be on hand to explain the life changes of native fish. Perhaps you might like to go on to create videos or story plays?
Suitable for ages 6 plus and ideal for families.
