that I've got my puppet...
...What do I do with it?
When I started my
Puppet Experience, I
was fortunate to join a team that had an experienced puppeteer as the director. We traveled

The team director expected quality in our performances and in our practices and wouldn't let us slack off. As a result, I quickly learned basic puppet skills as well as a number of advanced ones. At the same time, I developed a love for puppetry that has stayed with me for the past 25+ years.
This site is a product of that early experience, combined with all the extra stuff I've learned in the ensuing years. God has placed a desire in my heart to share what I know about puppetry with you and help you have a great puppet experience as well.
