About the Workshop

Learn how to make your own illuminated sculpture out of red osier dogwood and old bedsheets with puppet designer Laura Stinson. Participants will be guided through a multi-step process in advanced yet accessible sculpting techniques to build their own lanterns. All ages are welcome; no experience is necessary. We will be using sharp tools, so participants under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Space is limited to 15 people. Pre-registration is required. 

TWO WORKSHOPS OFFERED - one in Charlottetown and one in New Glasgow.

This free workshop is part of The 2023 River Clyde Solstice Walk. Should you wish to make a donation to support our programming, visit www.riverclydepageant.com/donate

About the Instructor:

Laura crafts images from both found and traditional materials. These creations become narratives, characters and atmospheres in a variety of theatrical spectacles. She began her career in puppetry with Bread and Puppet Theater in 2016, where she apprenticed under Peter Schumann and has continued to develop her puppet manipulation and construction techniques with  Mermaid Theatre (NS, Canada), Compagnie Arketal (Cannes, France) and  Compagnie Coatimundi (Châteaurenard, France). In 2017, she collaborated with Noella Murphy and Julia Walker to form A Road Less Gravelled Productions, which has performed puppet shows at art festivals throughout Nova Scotia. After four years working as a touring member and subsequent resident puppeteer for Bread and Puppet, Laura co-founded The North Barn Theatre Collective in 2020. She currently lives and makes art in Mi’kma’ki.
