Welcome to brooklyn puppet.com!

WE’RE CRAZY ABOUT PUPPETS, AND CHANCES ARE, IF YOU’RE READING THIS, YOU ARE, TOO!

PUPPETRY IS A WONDROUS, MAGICAL ART FORM.

HUMANS HAVE BEEN USING OBJECTS, STICKS, GLOVES AND IMMENSE FIGURES TO TELL STORIES FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. PUPPETS HELP US REVEAL THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES WE CAN’T SAY ANY OTHER WAY. THEY ARE A POWERFUL DRAMATIC EXPRESSION OF OUR INNER FEARS, DREAMS AND WISHES.

ANYONE, YOUNG OR OLD CAN MAKE A PUPPET!

ON THIS SITE YOU’LL FIND A VARIETY OF TYPES OF PUPPETS, WITH DIAGRAMS AND VIDEOS EXPLAINING HOW TO MAKE THEM. SOME PAGES MAY SEEM EMPTY AT THE MOMENT, BUT WE’LL BE ADDING THINGS EVERY DAY, SO COME BACK AND CHECK US OUT IN THE WEEKS TO COME!
