Workshop
While caregivers catch up on holiday shopping, children ages 8-11, can explore their creativity through the magical world of shadow puppetry! This beginner-friendly workshop will guide participants through the history of shadow theatre and its unlimited potential for storytelling.
Our programming team will lead participants through The Rooms to find inspiration in our beautiful galleries, including our festive exhibit: The House of Wooden Santas.
What to Expect:
- We will learn the basics of storytelling
- We will design shadow puppets (all materials are included)
- We will premiere a shadow puppet show for friends and family
- We’ll also enjoy some hot chocolate and a cookie, visit the galleries and take in all the holiday decorations at the Rooms along the way
