Make a Nightjar Puppet at spudWORKS, Sway

As part of the Herds global art and climate change project, St Barbe are linking with SpudWORKS and African Activities running workshops to highlight climate change in our own local habitats.

Join us for stories about the Nightjar and make Nightjar puppets from recycled materials, learn about climate change and make your pledge to help make a difference.

Join us in the afternoon and take your puppets on a guided walk (details to follow)

PLEASE NOTE: Bring along an empty plastic milk bottle of any size to make your puppet.

5 Puppet Workshops: 2 at St Barbe / 3 at spudWORKS

It is well worth taking a look at @TheHerds website and following their journey on social media. The giant puppets – reminiscent of ‘War Horse’ – are a spectular and can only inspire action from all those who see them!

Inspired by THE HERDS and supported by Art Fund.
