Subject: [Puptcrit] Workshop: Advanced Sock Puppets


Hi all.
Since fuzzy socks are back in Season (see previous post), so should my 
Advanced Sock Puppets Workshop!

I offer it online, or in person.
The price is low for now.
For Puptcritters, we could arrange for a payment in puppetmaking materials, 
if you have something cool or very useful to offer.

Most Info here:

And extra info here:
I've been astonished for a while to find out that sock puppets are still 
considered inferior puppets, not even worth performing with, usually. Why, I 
said? They have amazing potential!
So I experimented last year, and solved the problems that I thought most 
sock puppets suffered from. My Advanced Sock puppets have a flexible 
mouthplate and eye control to allow for changing facial expressions and 
wacky effects. I sometimes add a partial skull to add cranial volume and 
allow for precise eye focus. One sock can be used for the head and body, the 
other can be turned into limbs and accessories! Only basic equipement is 
required. The materials are inexpensive. 30 minutes to learn the technique, 
and slightly longer if it's not taught live. Easy for adults and kids alike.
Extremely lightweight. The result is a durable, performance-worthy puppet 
that can be stored in a small lightbulb box! It's hand washable too!
