Puppet Makers
ContactSince 1985 Marcus and Helena have made over sixty Puppets for UK Television.
Most of these Puppets we have also Puppeteered and voiced between us.
Our Puppets are extremely characterful, light and Puppeteer friendly.
They are fabricated by hand in minimalist fashion out of the highest quality fake fur, fabrics, fleeces and foams.
Other Puppet bits like eyes, noses and teeth are always sculpted, coloured and cast by us and we make our own animatronics too.
We regard ourselves as among the best Puppet Makers in the World.
We think of our Puppets as works of Art and of ourselves as Artists.
When we accept commissions we invest a great deal of ourselves in the works and expect a great deal of input and creative freedom.
People who commission us expect this.
| General Puppet Making Information |

| Rights Assignment |
We
have previously designed and built Puppets to a brief and then
assigned all of the rights. Other times when there have been budget restraints
we have kept our rights or a percentage of them or had them revert back
to us when the programme no longer aires. Occasionally we have bought our own Puppet rights back from Broadcasters. |
||
| Puppet Design and Build. |
Design has always been a vital part ot the Puppet Making process.
Sometimes this is done with Drawings and other times by using simple
visual reference during the Puppet build process. Over time the later has become our preferred method. Drawn designs see here Animatronic design see here |
||
| Puppet Maintenance and Puppeteering. |
We have almost always been on Set to maintain the Puppets.
Usually working as Puppeteers. This has enabled us to ensure that the Puppets always look their best. That they are repaired quickly and that they are maintained to last well. We have Puppets that have done over ten TV Series and still look new. If we are not then we can supply training, instructions and kits. |
