Sam Lasseter Brings Happy Times to Lacoste, France with his Puppets!

So proud and happy to see my former student, Sam, continuing the tradition we learned in Morinesio, Italy in 2013 with Alex Kahn and Sophia Michahelles.  

An appearance from PomPom on the streets of Lacoste. Testing out the ol' joints on this mare! A couple more tweaks and she'll be ready for July 2!! #artistresidency #scadlacoste #puppet

Reposing a great video posted by @paulaswallace ... Celebrated the arrival of#SCAD students in #Lacoste earlier today with a picnic at Pont Julien! In attendance was one of the puppets created by@samlasseter — overalls and outfit by Martha Enzmann and Karen Butch — inspired by the workers of the local quarries. This large-scale guest and the epic, ancient limestone bridge were outsized only by the illimitable enthusiasm of our splendid summer #Bees!

The puppets are ready, the people are here, and tomorrow is on approach. Thank you to everyone that gave a helping hand, this parade would not have happened without you. #scadlacoste #artistresidency #puppet #parade
