Participants joined us for a marionette workshop led by Kim Profaci of the Modern Marionette Company! Inspired by The Church’s current exhibition HAND MADE, the workshop was a magical, hands-on experience that lifted imaginations and excited creativity.

The workshop began with a brief introduction of marionettes and the art of puppetry, participants and spectators gathered around for a demonstration of various techniques as Profaci and her marionettes performed the tale of “Strega Nona”. Following the performance, Profaci guided participants through the process of creating a scarf puppet, allowing everyone to leave with a marionette of their own creation! The session concluded with an open discussion of puppetry and the possibilities of marionette creation and fabrication.
