About the Class
Learn to make and perform a scarf marionette in the style of legendary master puppeteer Albrecht Roser — guided by PuppetKabob's Sarah Frechette, who learned it from Roser himself! This elegant silk puppet is simple to make, yet expressive even in the hands of a beginner.
All participants will take home a completed scarf marionette and the basic movement vocabulary needed to create a solo performance.
Recommended for adults 18+
