Another new workshop! Just a week after the Introduction to Shadow Puppetry workshop I'll be hosting a deeper dive into Shadow Puppet Mechanisms. This class will not have the fun looseness of the intro course but we will discuss the engineering principles that go into some shadow puppets and build several examples in increasing complexity.

Next shadow puppet workshop announced!
In just a few weeks I'll be re-running my often sold out Introduction to Shadow Puppet day long workshop. Get stuck in with a class that offers 5 different kinds of screens to play with and many materials and techniques to try out. (I also offer some pre-made templates for those who want a more gradual entry into shadow puppets)

A B movie! For this year's Puppet Place New Year's Challenge!

A bit of an experiment for me, live sand animation on a scrolling bit of transparent paper. With no narrative just using a new media to explore many different ways to represent B.

All sounds came free from Pixabay or were made by me.

Last year I got to make some incredible and fun puppets but this dog for the @paddleboat.theatre production of "The Jolly Christmas Postman" has to be one of my favourite builds in a very long time.

I was given a lot of room to play with finishes and simple techniques that I've not explored in a long time. Thanks to Katy and everyone involved for getting me in to build something so satisfying and fun.

And thanks to Lillie Sherry for the fantastic video

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
