Bio of Workshop Presenter:

Although an art teacher by profession, puppetry has been Fred's artistic forte for 65 years. You may have read some of his performance reviews in The Puppetry Journal. His wide experiences in puppet construction techniques from "ancient" papier-mache and Plastic wood to contemporary casting techniques as well as technical stagecraft and lighting make him an ideal workshop leader.
