Creative Saturdays: Make a shadow puppet and miniature stage in Little Rock
A puppet can suggest a character; a miniature stage gives that character a place for a story. On October 31, Creative Saturdays invites visitors to make both at the museum’s Windgate Art School.
A character and a place to tell its story
Participants will design a silhouette puppet using the fall season for inspiration, then decorate a small stage for it. The project pairs character-making with a setting, leaving room to imagine the story that connects the two.
This is a drop-in art activity rather than a ticketed performance or a scheduled class. The museum welcomes visitors of all ages and abilities; it does not specify how long an individual project takes.
