Now in its 9th year\, Cattywampus’s people-powered Parade invites community members of all ages to create giant puppets\, costumes\, and other art and come together to parade as one. This year’s parade theme “Where the Waters Meet” will be in celebration of water and a commitment to protect our waterways and all of the life they support\, including our own.   \nDuring this workshop\, we will focus on papier-mâché\, cardboard sculpting\, rigging\, and other methods for making inexpensive parade art. There will not be enough time for participants to complete their own project during this workshop but each participant will receive a Giant Puppet Making & Parade Art Manual to take home\, plenty of hands-on experience\, and time to work on their own design/brainstorm a project for their group. To learn more about Cattywampus\, visit www.cattywampuspuppets.org.  \n \nThank you to Cattywampus Puppet Council for partnering with the KMA on this program.
