PUPPET SNIPPETS
Hello from Leigh and Steve at Clydebuilt Puppet Theatre we are usually on tour throughout the UK and Europe.
We normally bring our shows to you in your own community. Due to the coronavirus outbreak we want to continue to bring our work to you at home, so we have created PUPPET SNIPPETS for you to make puppets in the comfort of your own home!
