"Free entry / PWYC! We’ve got so much love for this Puppet Fest special led by Glasgow artist Fibi Cowley, exploring inner-child-nurturing expressions of selfhood and gender through a welcoming, beginner-friendly doll-making workshop. All materials provided and finished creations form part of a trans healthcare fundraising zine – puppets will heal the world!"

A event on Sunday 7th June. The event starts at 10:00.
Join Fibi in a relaxed and reflective session, exploring how we can use dollmaking to express our inner selves, and access complex notions of gender and queerness.
Participants will be equipped with materials, needle and thread and embellishments. We will be following a simple pattern, but expect to bring your own flair to your creation. All levels welcome!
The outcomes of this session will be recorded (with your consent!) and incorporated into a zine about queer embodiment and expression, to raise money for trans healthcare funds.
Tickets are FREE. Donations are optional, and will go towards covering material costs and transport.
Part of the Bristol Experimental Puppet Festival.
