Puppet Making, Workshops, and Consultation

Handbendi creates puppets in a range of styles from a variety of materials. We are happy to discuss your puppetry needs and work with you to design and create suitable characters for your productions.

Thinking about using puppetry for your production? Not sure where to begin? We are also available to support your production through puppetry direction, consultation, and dramaturgy. 

We also offer a series of workshops and short courses in puppetry manipulation and puppet making. Our most popular course is the Icelandic Troll Puppet Making class. A great addition to festivals, this one - two hour course uses natural materials found in North-west Iceland to make unique table top puppets. 

Manipulation courses are available at our studios in Hvammstangi and are bespoke.  Think of it as a puppetry retreat.  Contact us for more information.
