Mask Making Workshops

Every year Tucson Puppet Works hosts FREE weekly workshops to the community. People are welcome to make a mask, big head puppet, human-powered float, or art installation to be shown on Procession night. No experience is required, all ages are welcome. Wear clothes that can get dirty. Kids 14 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.  Feel free to contribute to these amazing workshops either with a cash donation or materials.  These have become a Tucson tradition and many formats are engaged such as:

Paper Globo lantern, Paper Pulp and Bread Masks, Paper Flowers, Sugar Skulls, human powered floats, big head puppets and almost anything you can dream up
