A huge selection of puppets you'll love
Puppets here are exactly what you like to have! We´ve sorted them into a few categories for easier browsing. So take a look and see which one touches your heart. Enjoy :)
Our marionette puppets are all handmade here in the Czech Republic. Czech Puppeteering is Unesco heritage and we all know why. UNIMA (the worldwide association of all puppeteers) was established in Prague, the unique PUPPET UNIVERSITY PRAGUE has generated many real professionals and the "Puppeteer" is the only magazine published around the world specializing in Puppets. But in the end, you are the ones helping us to keep this magnificent craft alive. - Custom & Bespoke
We are mastering the technique of hand carving and the modern technique of 3D printing. We use top-quality materials and techniques. We are able to communicate with you on a daily basis during the project to find the best possible way how to make your ideas come true.

Welcome to our group of enthusiasts making 3D-printed puppets. ----------

- Antique
We have decided to release our collection of historical originals for sale and subsequent support of the non-profit organization PUP (Institute of Czech Puppetry - Puppet Uni Prague, z.ú.).
Stories of antique marionettes are hidden inside them. They were all played in puppet theaters (nomadic or even stone). Antique marionettes represent a great piece of history that you can now have at home. All antique marionettes in this category are handmade in the traditional way and are in working order. Most of them date from the beginning of the 20th century and their birthplace is the Czech Republic. Their value is historical, artistic, and collectible.
You can either have your new marionette sent home or lend it to the upcoming PUP museum.
In case of interest, we are able to provide professional restoration. - Courses
We are a group of university-educated puppeteers. Whether you would like to learn how to operate a marionette, technology of building a puppet, hand carving or just to dive into the theory and modern trends in performing, we are here to share the deep knowledge of Czech puppetry.
Courses are running with the cooperation of PUP – Puppet University Prague (see also www.puppetuniversity.org) - Publications & Vouchers
