Making Simple Marionettes

By John Roberts

This beautiful book clearly explains the process from making the puppets to putting them on strings and bringing them alive. Detailed step-by-step instructions are given to make three marionettes--a walking bird, a dancer and a wooden man--each using different tools and materials, with progressively more tricky techniques. A showcase of marionettes from around the world illustrates the variety and richness of this ancient art. Includes an overview of all the different forms of puppet--hand, rod, shadow and marionette--and examples of how marionettes are made using everything from cardboard tubes to CAD 3D printing
