Puppet Making
Okay it's not very neat but I know where everything is.
So you want a puppet? Well, you've come to the right place! We offer a comprehensive custom puppet making service, just ask and we'll try our best to bring your idea to life. We make puppets of all sorts of shapes, types and sizes, including marionettes, glove puppets, rod puppets and shadow puppets. Take a look at our puppet gallery.
One of the things we are most frequently asked about is prices and why there are none on the site. The simple answer is that it's very difficult to make general quotes, it all depends on materials and complexity. Using antron "muppet" fleece for a lip synch puppet, for instance, instead of polar fleece, more than quadruples the material cost. Building a puppet from standard upholstery polyfoam is half the cost of using something like reticulated foam. A papiér maché head for your glove puppet is cheaper than a cast neoprene head. Puppets that have control rods for their arms are more expensive than those without and those with complex detachable rods are more expensive still. It's possible to build puppets for all kinds of tasks and price ranges, so just contact us and we'll talk to you about the options for your needs and budget.
