Eighteen local first through fifth-graders used socks, plastic water bottles and other basic materials to craft sculptural puppets during a puppet workshop directed by local artist Geoff Ellsworth and Tim Giugni, the Emmy-award winning puppeteer and founder of Il Teatro Calamari, a national and international touring company.

ArtSpring sponsored the workshop, which ran April 5-8 at St. Helena Elementary School, and was scripted and filmed, so that each of the participants will receive a DVD of their performance
