Last week was glorious, so very sunny and also extremely challenging. Me and my wee van travelled down to Totnes in Devon to spend a week woodcarving with John Roberts of Puppetcraft. There were two other woodcarving students – lovely folk – and we spent an idyllic, if very hardworking, week designing and making our own marionettes. This was the second time I had done this course with John – the first being in May 2016 at The Little Angel – and it was really good to revisit the processes and to approach the week with a better understanding of puppetry and even a little bit of wood carving experience under my belt. Very happy.
