Twelve more great puppets strung at Aboyne Lodge today! It's going to be very hard to choose the ones for the final performances... Photo credits to Tim Duschenes.

Well done to pupils at Aboyne Lodge School who finished assembling and stringing their puppets today! We think they look great, and judging by the looks on the pupils' faces when their puppets walk for the first time, they agree.

Huge congratulations to all the Y7 pupils at The Purcell School, who finished stringing their puppets today! Despite short terms and short sessions every week, they've worked incredibly hard and produced some brilliant puppets! We're really looking forward to learning to manipulate them next term (and watch this space for photos of the dragons).

We had a great session today assembling the controls and using the stringing rack for the first time, and have strung four puppets! We'll be stringing the rest over the next few weeks - check back here for photos.
