Bio of Workshop Presenter:

Jason von Hinezmeyer's early years are a complete mystery. He was bought out of the squalor of a Filipino prison in 1984 by an aristocratic family on vacation for the humble sum of $300. His adoptive parents soon lavished Jason with the finest furnishings that money can buy. However the vonHinezmeyers' were always a bit distant as they treated him as guinea pig in various experiments in child rearing techniques and alternative education. At the age of seventeen Jason left home to test his fortitude and see what fortune held in store for him. He is now the resident puppet builder for the Center for Puppetry Arts.
