ThaNk YoU NorwAy!
After promoting the idea of leaving the house so intensly, I bravely applied for a puppet making masterclass in Norway, and I was lucky enough to get invited to Stamsund (Lofoten! What a dream come true) to attend a puppet making master class lead by Matt Jackson at Figur Teatret.
Together with nine other puppet artists from around the world, we were hoping for a nice paid vacation on Lofoten Island. But what happened was, that we really had to work A LOT. And I also learned a lot. I mean, I am making puppets since a long long time now. My patience in production is very limited, so I will go with whatever works the fastest.
But with Matt I learned to focus on materials and real craftmanship.
I mean, I had to make this wooden neck myself!
