Summer workshops are now available to learn the art of puppetry.
The Puppet Project is being presented by the Michigan Tech Visual and Performing Arts Department for all ages August 12th through the 17th.
Participants will learn to construct and manipulate various types of puppets.
Puppets will come to life telling stories of plants, animals, and music, with themes provided by local poets Hugo Gordillo and Kelsey Carriere.
Classes are carefully designed for different age groups.
There will be a recital performed by workshop students in the McArdle Theatre on Saturday, August 17th.
Classes are limited to 10 students so those interested are encouraged to register right away at https://mtu.universitytickets.com/
The program is in partnership with the Copper Country Community Arts Center and is sponsored by KC Bonkers Toys & Coffee.
