    I really loved this class. It sparked a resurgence of puppet making in me and I have made 3 full bodied puppets using the techniques and lessons learned in this course. Barry Gordimer’s tips and detailed but straight forward instructions is amazing.

    Highly recommend this course. I had fun, learned so much and continue to use the tips and instructions presented over a year after taking the course. I liked it so much I got the lessons on DVD too.

    I love the YouTube videos on your puppet making style! I have been making puppets for only little over a year and I am always trying to find ideas and ways to perfect my skills. Your videos have been an inspiration to me and keeps me motivated to create better puppets.
