Puppet Making 4

Ms. Anupama Hoskere and Ms. Jagriti Galphade

The thermocol block to form the puppets face and body
Hand tools like files, blade and cutter used to sculpt and shape
The basic sketch of the puppets face is drawn for reference
The crude basic shape is derived by filing and shaving the block
Brown paper dipped in fevicol is stuck to smoothen the base
The facial features being fine tuned at the cutting table
The slots are created for the joining and movement mechanisms
The face of the puppet is ready for colouring
A unique mechanism is devised for the movement of eyes and jaws
The colouring enhancements to suit the character portrayed
Scripting the entry jingle to present the puppet on stage
The young puppet ‘Lucky’ waits to play his part

Traditional Puppet Making is a deliberate process that uses a variety of traditional and modern Materials and Techniques. The main steps are making the face, the body, the stringing and joining mechanism and accessorizing the puppet. The following slides capture the entire process of making a puppet using low cost and light weight material. These photographs of students works have been documented during the puppet making open elective at NID, R&D campus, Bangalore, 2011.
