Student Materials: Please bring the following: -Come with a sense of adventure and perhaps a thought or 2 about things you'd like to build. -Cloth for the puppets will need to come from students whether from thrift stores, old sheets or fabric boxes. Having a few options on hand would be helpful. If you have your own brushes for acrylic painting, bring you.

School Fee & Materials: FOLK SCHOOL FEE: not sure yet--Waiting to chat with Sienna about a possible Folk School Fee for clay. Large pieces of cardboard like furniture/appliance boxes. Bigger than 20"x 20"min. Masking tape 2' or 3" wide rolls one per student. Clay- 1 full 20lbs bag per student. This clay can be re-hydrated or recycled clay not for firing. If there is a pug mill at JCCFS we can use scrap clay. Adequate space under the big barn. Access to buildings with bathrooms and sinks, etc

Instructor Materials: Basic tools of giant puppet construction: staple pliers, utility knives, cordless drills etc. Armature materials and numerous bits and bobs needed for the making up puppets.

Equipment Needs: Some tools may be needed like the occasional saw or extra cordless drill. Scrap wood os also needed at times. It would be great to have access to bamboo for tall puppets to be mounted on. More conversation with JCCFS is needed to know if this is possible.
