You start with a prepared glove then add the head and legs creating a dragon puppet of your choice.  The dragon can be as realistic (have you seen one?!) or as fantastical as you can imagine - whatever the dragon you can embellish it with wings, fangs, flames or spines to your own design.

The children's workshops at the Puppet Theatre run for 1½ hours (unless otherwise stated) and during the first part of the session the children all work together under the guidance of the workshop leaders to make the basic 'skeleton' of the puppet. Then there is a short break - where refreshments may be purchased in the Puppet Theatre shop, or you can bring your own along.  After the break it is free creativity time where the puppet's chararacter comes to life - with facial features, hands, costume, accessories etc.  All the materials are included in the price of the workshop.   At the end of the session you will have a puppet to take home with you!
