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.
Art & Hand-carved
Art Marionettes are our best selection of puppets that are both unique and special in every possible way. Each creation is an original detailed piece of art. Art Marionettes will make a wonderful addition to your collection and they will bring joy and beauty into your home. Lifetime figurines that age like wine...For better clarity we've sorted them into a few categories bellow. So look at and enjoy :) Katerina Novakova
Performance
Meet them on the street, at a party or on social networks like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc. They are fully functional puppets and never get tired. You can choose from the offer you see here, or you can come up with your idea and we will make a professional puppet for you. We would be pleased to meet you personally at our guild workshop in Prague.
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.
DIY & Parts & Accessories
Make your own puppet! Buy our parts, assemble a puppet, paint it and dress it as you please.
Models for 3D printing
Great collection of .stl files for your 3D printing projects. Join our enthusiasm for 3D printed marionettes. We have been lately working on more mechanical automata-oriented mechanics for our marionettes so stay tuned and subscribe to our mailing list. Let me know in case of any questions or technical requests. Petr Puppeteer !!! You can also have a look at the article "Basics about building (not only) 3D printed marionettes and what you can gain out of them."!!!
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.

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)
