Shadow Puppet Making Workshop for Kids

Shadow puppets move across a screen as the outlines of children dancing are visible on either side

Overview

Join artist, puppeteer and theatre-maker Deni Dominguez for a hands-on creative workshop inspired by CMAG's Worlds Beyond Waste exhibition.

In this fun, imaginative session, children will raid the recycling bin — cardboard, plastic packaging, found objects and more — to design and build their very own shadow puppets. Guided by Deni's playful approach to sustainable materials and storytelling, participants will explore how waste can become something wonderful.

The workshop concludes with a shadow puppet show, where children bring their creations to life and perform for family and friends in the studio.

Ages: 8+

Notes: Children must be accompanied by an adult. Supervising adults do not require a ticket.
