My Stories come to Life - Puppet Workshop! Instructor: Faten Toubasi Location: Arts Etobicoke Gallery Dates: Saturdays (November 14, 21, 28, December 5, 12 & 19) Time: 1pm-3pm Duration: 6 weeks Artist
/ teacher Faten Toubasi will lead a series of workshops for children 8-12 as a part
of our Saturday Storefront Art Classes November 14 – December 19, 2009. In
this 6-day workshop, children will create and perform a small puppet show, make
puppets from papier-mâché and also costumes. The classes will also
include story telling and learning to manipulate the puppets. This
workshop is inspired by Faten's recent work with Jumblies Theatre, a community arts
organization and member of Arts Etobicoke, that focuses on making art in
everyday and
unexpected places. Arts Etobicoke gratefully acknowledges BMO Employee Charitable Foundation for their support of the Saturday Storefront Art Classes. Click here to see photos.
