The Children and the Arts Festival is offering puppet-making workshops to be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church on two Saturdays.

The theme for this year’s festival is “Tell Me a Story!”

Anyone can come and learn to make a puppet – large or small. Each participant will walk away with a completed head and the knowledge to finish their puppet at home.

Bring five or six paper bags, a few large pieces of cardboard, marker, masking tape, plastic table cloth to cover table, bowl to use for paste with lid recommended, box cutter or utility knife, and a small stack of newspaper.

Workshops will be held Saturday, April 9 and 23, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Workshops are by donation only. RSVP is required by contacting Terry Reeves at 924-9361 or childrenandarts@gmail.com.
