Artist Ren Wolfe will guide you through making your own magical mixed-media split-pin puppet!

Using paint, pens, pencils, and upcycled fabric, you’ll create your whimsical creatures out of cardboard and bring them to life through movement using split pins. The workshop is a fun take on a childhood favourite!
