These school holidays, join a creative puppetry workshop with Ifat Vanyer and learn how to make shadow puppets.

Through games of lights and shadows we will find out where the Matariki stars came from. We’ll see a shadow puppetry show and afterwards you’ll learn to create your own shadow puppets to take home!

Suitable for ages 4 to 12 years. Children aged under 7 years must be accompanied by an adult.
