Teaching Puppetry Skills to the Students from Tongzhou Model School in China

Freddie shows students how to start sketching their puppets

 Today I had fun working with our visitors from China ages 11-18!  Students learned how to make jumping jack puppets and start a large coyote puppet for the school. Teaching assistants helped make the process move smoothly. There was a lot of excited energy in the room.
