Learn to build a moving mouth mech for a turning head rod puppet. It's similar to the type used on Rizzo the Rat, and is a simple, intuitive design that's easy to perform and fun to play around with.
Long Description:
Along with building this puppet “skeleton," we're going to be looking at how it works, why it works, and how you may need to change it if you come up with your own designs in the future! We'll spend some time looking at fun ways to add on to the basic mech to create your own character, then we will look at another rod design to get your ideas flowing. We will be assembling a kit, but this workshop is designed to show you the principals and be able to create your own designs from fairly easy to find materials. If you can bring needle nose pliers, a fine phillips-head screw driver, it would be great, but we will have extras to borrow if you don't routinely carry those around with you the way Greg does.
