WHAT’S ON
OUR NEXT CREATIVE CAFE
Join us for a very special Creative Cafe on Thursday 7 September 2023, from 12.30-2.30pm when special guest Richard Sewell will be speaking about Air Giants‘ wonderful creative robotic inflatable, pneumatically-controlled creatures and the technology and creative process that is involved in creating them. You will also have a chance to watch some short videos of recent installations and if the weather is favourable experience one of the smaller inflatable robots up close and personal in the Puppet Place garden. There will be time for Q&As and for general networking too.
We charge a small fee of £3 for tickets, which goes towards the cost of running the event and for providing tea, coffee and biscuits. Numbers are limited so book here now to avoid missing out!
Richard Sewell is a roboticist, software engineer, maker of many things, and a co-founder of Air Giants. He’s interested in the simple pleasures to be found in interactions between people and machines, in experience design, in touch-based experiences, in play and in invitations to play. He’s also interested in robots of all sorts, in tools and gizmos and technical trickery.
Harbour Festival Open Doors 2023
Puppet Place opened its doors on the weekend of the Bristol Harbour Festival from Saturday 15th to Sunday 16th July 2023.
We invited visitors in to find out what puppetry entails and to see where and how puppets are fabricated.
Visitors were able to visit our Fabrication Workshop and Garden where we ran puppetry demos and children’s workshops!
