Labyrinth Goblins

Commission for Sneaky Experience to make 4 goblin glove puppets for their Labyrinth-themed weekend event at Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds, 17th – 19th of June 2015

Terrific to be working with fellow creative maker, Kaja Switalska on the puppets. Here’s a look at what we’ve been getting up to and the mischief unraveling…

 

 

The brief I was given, was ‘to make Muppet-style glove puppets based on the work of Brian Froud and Jim Henson‘. Essential research required: Sit back and watch the 1986 classic fantasy film, Labyrinth. Great film for all ages and what a positive portrayal of goblins it gives!

And here they are in action at the Labyrinth event in Leeds…
