Calling all makers, this online class is for you! Join Sea Beast and discover how to integrate electronics into your puppetry designs, soft sculpture, and more. In this exciting and interactive online class, you will have the opportunity to explore and create working circuits through hands on projects. Students will be provided with and learn to use conductive thread, conductive tape, and conductive fabric.

 

During the series students will make a series of craft tools to help troubleshoot problems and 4 puppets: light up eyes, piranha plant rod puppet, mermaid in a jar toy theatre, and a light up Harry Potter sorting hat hand puppet. Students will need to purchase a materials kit that will include all the electronics and fabric supplies necessary to complete all the class projects. Basic crafting staples (glue, scotch tape, paper) and tools (pencils, scissors, sewing rulers) will need to be provided by the students.

 

Each project can be taken on it’s own but some will start an hour early to cover basic circuit knowledge. Visit our registration page to see all the options.

All pertinent skills to complete the projects will be taught and previous experience in electronic or puppet making is not required. However, this class should be thought of as intermediate in level. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
