Detailed Schedule:

For the first three days, you will carve the individual parts of which the puppet is composed. The fourth day is intended for finishing the surface and preparing for painting, or the first layer of paint. On the fifth day, you finish the painting and possibly paint the puppet. For the next two days, you will learn how to assemble the puppet and connect it correctly. If there is time left, you will also learn tips and tricks on how to play your puppet to the maximum.

Daily scheduling:

We will start every morning at 9 am and finish at 6 pm. During the day we have a lunch break.

We can also prepare plenty of side activities for you! Prague itself is a magical city and we’d love to take you for a night walk through the town. To have some fun, there is an opportunity to experience a private boat trip, enjoy some live music and you can also visit our showroom full of wonderful puppets!

Short interview with Martin about hand carving...

Petr: So what is so amazing about carving a figurine?

Martin: Hard to describe... I think it is first about feeling the wood itself. Wood has its own aroma, weight, grain. And then about the response, you get from the wood.

Petr: Response?

Martin: Yes. Once you learn how to hand carve you feel that wood gives you possibilities of where and how deep you can go with a chisel. That’s why no figurine is the same.

Petr: You are talking about that old truth which all sculptors have repeated through the ages,  that there is shape already hidden inside and the sculptor is just taking it out of the mass. Right?

Martin: I mean it is not magic or something like that. Wood has simply some structure inside which gives you ways of how you can work with it. It's nice to let yourself improvise and change your ideas as they develop in your creation during the process of carving.

Petr: Ok. And what else is so nice about carving for you?

Martin: Besides the smell which I like a lot is the fact that something is forming in your hands. You think about it and it gives you new and fresh impulses to look at it again and again.

Petr: I know what you are talking about. I personally love the sound of wood while carving. Anyway, thank you for the quick interview.

Thank you for all your advice and help! Guys at Czech Marionettes are really masters of what they do. I have visited them in their studio and got my Skeleton there. Will buy more professional stuff there.

Thomas Fuller 13. 7. 2023bbbbb

I was surprised by how easy and fun it is to operate. The controls and strings are straightforward, making it easy to create various dance movements. For its size, the puppet is very compact and can be comfortably carried in a small backpack. If you're looking for a simple yet entertaining and nice marionette, this marionette is a fantastic choice.
