TV Puppet Making and Puppeteering Workshops. Puppet Makers for Television for over 25 years.
Puppet Makers          Contact Commission, design, build, deliver. Since 1985 we have made over sixty Puppets for UK Television. Many of these Puppets we have also Puppeteered or have been assistants to the Puppeteers. So we have conveniently been on Set to maintain the Puppets. When we are not. We supply a Kit with spares and simple instructions for the Puppets upkeep. Right. Helena with Mooma for RTE 2011. Usually at commission we are given a brief which we use to create your Puppets. Keeping you informed of progress and of any new creative developments or options as they arise. Right. Marcus's Puppetry Masterclass for BAFTA 2012. Working in this way keeps costs down and we can usually create your Puppet for around £3,500 GBP 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 our works and expect a great deal of input and creative freedom. The Clients that commission us expect this. Knowing it achieves the highest quality result. (Above Left. Ogie Puppet made for RTE Jr's new Hubble TV Programme. Above Right.

General Puppet Making Information Rights Assignment We have previously designed and built Puppets to a brief and then assigned all of the rights. Occasionally we have bought our own Puppet rights back from Broadcasters when they no longer need them. 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've often been on Set to maintain the Puppets. As Puppeteers or assistance. Otherwise we supply full instructions, spares and a maintainance kit. We have Puppets that have done over ten TV Series and still look like new with good upkeep.
