Home / Frequently asked questions
Do you make marionettes?
Yes. We carve, joint and string marionettes by hand, made to move well and hold up in use.
What does a puppet cost?
It depends on the puppet, the carving and the work involved. Tell us what you have in mind and we will give you a clear price.
Do you make puppets to order?
Yes. We carve, joint and string puppets by hand to your idea. Tell us the character and we will advise and prepare a quote.
Can you re-string an old puppet?
Usually, yes. Puppets can be re-strung, re-jointed and put right. Show us the puppet and we will advise.
How do I order?
Visit the workshop or write to us. For a puppet to order we agree the character, carving, stringing and timing together.
Do you work with theatre companies?
Yes. We make puppets, commissions and repairs for theatre and collectors, and advise on carving, jointing and stringing.
Do you make glove and rod puppets?
Yes. We make glove and rod puppets by hand, characters made to perform and to last.
