Magpie Puppets Workshops

Maggie Whalen has taught workshops at schools, museums, colleges, and even at Club Med! Magpie Puppets' puppet-making workshops bring children and adults the hands-on experience of creating characters and creatures from their imaginations. Tailored to meet your organization's needs, workshops range from one-hour puppet-building classes to multi-session workshops in puppet, mask and prop construction, story development, voice and performance.

As a pediatric occupational therapist, Maggie is able to foster children's fine motor development and can adapt activities as necessary.
