  Puppets Taking Flight
pop_062805 004 Like a baby bird peering out from its nest, Puppets on Parade 2006 is soon to take flight! But this little bird can't do it alone. POP needs your help.

Come out to the back garden of Oil and Water Arts Supply for community, for art, for fun, for sun (we have tents in case of rain), for yourself, and for Wendy. We'll have art supplies and myriad ways for you to help construct puppets. Bring your imagination and enthusiasm and stay for an hour, for a day, or for the whole workshop. You'll meet new people. You'll make new friends. You'll remember that the best things in life are free.

The workshop starts on June 20 and runs Tuesday through Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. leading up to the Bainbridge Island Grand Old Fourth of July Parade.

Come one, come all to make puppets big and small. Puppets on Parade is a free community art project for people of all ages. Over the course of two weeks, we will create a cast of characters on the theme: "Taking Flight." The puppets will be made out of paper mache and simple materials, and there are jobs for people of every skill level (children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult). No experience is necessary. We'll have all the stuff you'll need to create, and local arists will be on hand for guidance.

The puppet workshop will run June 20 - July 1, 2006, every Tuesday-Saturday from 1-5 p.m. On July 4th, we will parade our puppets as an entry in the Bainbridge Island "Grand Old Fourth" parade.

Help is needed planning this pubic art activity. To volunteer your time or resources please contact us.
