Subject: [Puptcrit] Punch and Judy heads


At the Atlanta festival a number of people mentioned a technique for 
modeling Punch and Judy heads using sawdust and glue, with provenance going 
back to the 17th or 18th century (this as opposed to carving heads). Since I 
also do a lot of 18th century history education and am constantly being 
asked to do puppet shows for events, I am wondering if anyone has has 
further info, primary source references, etc. on this method.

Thanks,
Wayne Krefting
