Puppet Making Workshops

Join us for a 4-hour workshop with international artists Poncili Creación to learn how to make large scale pole and pully operated foam puppets. Participants will learn a variety of skills over the workshop and be involved in transforming a route bus into their version of a garden paradise.

Led by identical twin brothers Pablo and Efrain Del Hierro from Santurce, Puerto Rico, Poncili Creación is a self-proclaimed “formless entity”—a big bright salute to the resilience of creativity that’s cut from discarded couch cushions and moulded from papier mâché. Their creations and performances will be at the festival hub, Night Trade, in the St Paul's Cathedral car park.

This workshop will cover:

• Poncili Creación’s process of creating
• Foam carving of puppets
• Pole & pull system puppets
• Painting styles for foam
